Gwenolye,

Nice gallery!  I like your work so here's some tips for you:

There are several ways you can save considerable amount of money buying a Mac Pro:

1. Get 2.8G instead of paying $1,600 more for 3.2G which is only 14% faster.

2) Buy RAM from third parties.  Apple want $3,500 for 16G RAM and I bought mine for $516 from memorytogo.com

3) Buy hard drives from 3rd parties (such as newegg.com) for substantial savings.

Get a friend to help you install RAM and drives - its really pretty simple though.
