Also, just to chime in, if you're not much of a hardware guy, I'd definitely stay away from one of the liquid cooled models. They are prone to hardware deterioration and the 2.3ghz air cooled computer mentioned above is an excellent long term choice.
I've had both a 2.7 with the older (and supposedly less reliable) cooling system, and a Quad core 2.5, and neither has ever given me any problems what so ever.
Andreas has a 2.7 I believe.
And more than a few other here have mention to me that rebuilding an Apple liquid cooler is not particularly difficult.
Although it is supposedly possible to swap the air cooling component for the water coolers of the high end models.
