Without being able to see the original file details, I can only guess but based on your screenshot being in .BMP format is it possible that the image you are trying to send is too? BMP is a lossless bitmap file format with absolutely no compression. If you could convert the image to something like .PNG or even .JPG you would see a much smaller file size with the same image. If that doesn't help, as others have suggested, use a cloud based file service with a large enough capacity to handle the file as Gmail has a limit of 25MB for attachments.

I agree, what tool are you using to determine temperatures? What is the operating environment like? If you are using it on a bed with blankets surrounding the air vents or the ambient temperatures are high, you could run into problems. If this computer is in ideal conditions, on a desk with normal ambient temps, I would check your vents or any fans and make sure they are working and clear first.

I've been a long time Apple customer. My last mac was a late 2008 Mac Pro that I upgraded just about everything on over time. When it came time to replace it, I looked at Apple's lineup and it was immediately clear that Apple no longer catered to me as a customer. I became accustomed to upgrading my hardware, using proper desktop GPUs that don't overheat and thermal throttle under constant heavy use. Apple no longer sells that. The worst is the high end iMac that simply can't keep the CPU cool inside such a small form factor. The new Pros are fine with temps but the lack of a proper GPU that really kills it for me. Apple has really left a major gap in their product lineup for sure. Apple is a big company and they can afford to ignore a large percentage of their desktop customers. We are not but a mere fraction of their total sales after all. After seeing the situation for what it was, I have come to a solution. I ended up building a hackintosh and couldn't be happier. It's certainly not for everyone. It does require some care when updating the OS, and it does take some skill and effort to setup but it works and works very well. Maybe someday Apple will build great, cutting edge computers again, but it is not right now. I've always been willing to pay a bit more for Apple's build quality and customer service, but I refuse to pay so much with no proper upgrade path that I've come accustomed to since my first color Macintosh II.

Space invaders arcade cabinet. I was hooked immediately.

I'm not convinced that the current offerings will be wild successes, however the technology will probably be inevitable eventually. The biggest failing of the current lineup is a "killer app" or game that really shines. The cost of the hardware will be a barrier to many but will be less of a problem over time. Until there is that one game that everyone feels they must experience, it will remain an expensive oddity. Frankly the types of games I've seen so far seem so limited that they don't feel much better than a glorified mobile games. Something that entertains for 5 minutes while you're bored, but not something that really immerses you for hours.

Keep in mind that parity is not backup. It is redundancy. If backup is at all important to you, then you will want an actual, separate backup solution which allows for you to restore that accidentally deleted file you didn't realize for a week. Parity will not do this for you. It can only provide some security in the event that a drive fails. If file sharing and cloud services are all you need, with no requirements for ECC memory, no gaming and no virtualization that requires hardware pass through, then a low power CPU like a G3260 or a G4400 will be more than enough. Such a system will probably only average around 50 watts under most circumstances which is less than it takes to run an incandescent light bulb. Such a system will also be inexpensive, less than $300 for the base system (before drives) easily.

THANK YOU! I came here just to point this particular bit out, as I just recently discovered when trying to install windows 10 home edition on an old dual xeon MacPro. Having to shell out $200 for a Pro Windows license to get full use of the hardware sort of takes the sparkle out of the $150 price point quoted. That said, for games, it probably matters very little, but would have been nice to have been at least mentioned in the video.

I just had one of those apart the other day to recover the HD to get some important data off it and let me tell you, space is at a premium in there and cooling will not be your friend to engineer at all. If I were in your shoes, I'd consider getting a Gigabyte Brix Gaming GB-BXi5G-760 and modding it's internals to fit inside the iMac case. It has a desktop 760 inside. At 2.3" x 5" x 4.5" (59.6mm x 128mm x 115.4mm) it should fit easily and may possibly leave enough room to keep the optical drive. Price is about $800 though. As a bonus, Gigabyte tends to be Hackintosh friendly and a little searching turns up people are using these as hackintoshes, if that's important to you.
