schools almost out (got about 3 weeks left) and have applied for one job like 2 days ago, and there is a full time position available in a shop in town, of which i should almost definatly get. so all this been said i should have about 1500GBP to spend in about 3months time for a new computer, as to which i will be needing for music and college, seems as college soley uses apple OS i was thinking about getting an apple.. perhaps a macbook pro, however part of me thinks i should get a desktop insted as you get 'more for your buck'

or even perhaps go as far as to building my own computer.. i priced this up a while ago (probally abou 12months ago) when i was heavily into computers and i could make a decent spec at a cost of around 700GBP.

anyhow.. what do you guys suggest?

thanks, dan.
