Apple and MOG

All I do on my computer is listen to MOG/Pandora/LastFM. That's it. No transferring physical CDs to the iTunes library, no photos, no movies, no apps, no anything else. What features should I look for in an Apple? Please note, I will be running "wifi", not hard-wired. Please let me know what specs (such as memory, processor and storage) I should order without wasting money on things I don't need. Thanx.

How do you plan on getting the music from your computer to your stereo(s)? Also, do you need a screen/monitor for the computer?

You don't need a computer for those functions, something like a Squeezebox touch would work.

I'm looking at the Apple as the "source" component attached to a USB DAC, then right into the integrated amp. In other words, computer will be part of the hi-fi proper. The question is...what specs do I need in the Apple GIVEN WHAT I DO, not how do I hook it up? Thanx.

If you're going to use a USB D/A, then any Intel processor based iMac or laptop will work with a minimum of 2Gb RAM.
