Hi, I am about to take the plunge.

Can anyone tell me where they think the best deals are to buy these items:

MAC G5 w/dual 2 Ghz processors
MOTU digital performer v4
Propellerhead Reason
MOTU 838MkII

Any help would really be appreciated!

Thanks, smile.gif

Apple has restrictions on how much their authorized resellers can sell Macs for. That's why at many sites get extra RAM or a printer or something else for free when you buy a Mac, they can't drop the price $200 lower than Apple, so they give you $200 worth of free stuff along with it.
Check Macmall.com, Maczone.com, or Macwarehouse.com for examples of deals like that. The price on the Macs won't vary by more than a few dollars. The difference really comes down to tax and shipping. On a $2600 Mac, tax and shipping can be a big difference, if you have to pay them.
Try Pricegrabber.com, they find prices from a bunch of sites, then add the shipping and tax into the prices to calculate who has the lowest total cost.
