Hmm...you sound like a power user (built own comp), you seem to have a reasonable amount of cash (based on peripherals you say you have), and you don't need games. You sound like a perfect match for a PowerBook. I just got a 15" one a I love it. Such good design, and OS X is the best personal OS out there. What do you do at school...what major? Macs have become quite good now for scientific and engineering stuff, as well as music and creative stuff (as usual). And you get the whole UNIX foundation so you have a powerful command line at your fingertips. That can make things a lot easier. Seriously, check out the PowerBooks (maybe wait until October if they are about to release new ones). I don't think you can go wrong with one if you have a bit more cash and don't require certain games or other apps.
