What MAc should I get. Pretty much the only thing it will be used for is browsing and photo stuff and I actually like iTunes. What price am I looking at? Should I wait for that cool looking flat thing?

Hilarious. My Acer was the driving force behind me switching too!
If a laptop isn't a huge priority for you I'd recommend the base model iMac. The screens are really nice and photos look phenomenal on them.

If you go to University or College (or know somebody that does) you could probably get a little knocked off the price too.
The mac mini is also a legit option if you already have a nice monitor hanging around (or if you just want to plug into an hdtv).
As for the cool looking flat thing, I've been hearing rumours of the impending tablet for over a year now. Not that it isn't coming, but I would bet that it'd be more likely we see a little $999 netbook first. If that tickles your fancy, maybe wait for the next big Apple announcement. If not, I still recommend the 20 inch imac.
