Oh...that's great but,instead of spending all that money on a mac knowing that u won't be able to change any pieces from it with the exception of adding RAM
u won't be able to change ure graphics card,ure Processor,etc. and it's a lot of money
and a very good alternative is:
U can get a super strong PC at the half of it's price!
I mean check this out,nVidia released some special stereoscopic glasses that let u play ure games,see pictures and movies in 3D! And all the pieces together cost half of the price of a mac!

nVidia GeForce 3D Vision Glasses Requirements:

nVidia Graphics cards(newest is GTX480 and 470):

also u need windows vista or windows 7 to work, not compatible with XP
and for windows 7 u need at least 2-3 GB of Ram to work properly cuz it's very consuming, but I just got Windows 7 and it's great, it looks and feels great
And also u need a 3D Vision compatible monitor, there is a monitor from samsung which is very new and it's nvidia 3d glasses compatible:
The Samsung 2233RZ 3D Monitor 22"
Also nvidia adds daily games to it's compatibility list rated from excellent to
not recommended

also here's a review of the glasses:

Try searching for the prices of each piece u require to make ure PC 3d compatible and then make a total sum of the prices and compare it to the price of an average mac
Thats some very good info.
But, people have their own reasons for buying the hardware of there choice, both PC and MAC are very capable machines. Please leave the "money" or "why would you game on a mac" questions out of it .

As an answer to Nate's when:

I think when depends on how successful valves move to include mac will be + how successful the oddbox would sell on the pc part.

Lets first hope that it gets released on the pc part, shall we
