Because the beige can take 768mb of RAM, while my iMac could only take 512 (don't have any 512mb sticks, so bleh to people who say it can take 1gb) the proc is faster (500mhz upgrade card in there right now, upclocked to 550) the hard drive is considerably larger (80gb vs 10) and I have no need for OSX, being a Linux man myself and mainly wanting this thing so I can use Photoshop.
Plus there's the additional reason of personal taste - I think the iMac looked entirely too much like a large blue, to be frank, boob. The beige appeals more to my tastes, though silver/black and boxier rather than curvy would be nice (I like the '80s styles; think Walkman)
If you hadn't noticed, I've done some considerable upgrades since yesterday. Tis a great machine now, seems much faster than the iMac, though that might be just because I'm not using OSX on it.
