Default HD Native with an iMac?

Is it possible to hook up? I'm very interested on upgrading to an HD Native system but I'm not sure if it's even possible to run on my iMac. Since it works great with with laptops and magma chassis I was wondering if it's possible to set up something similar with my iMac.

Also, I'm not sure if buying a Mac Pro at this moment is a good idea.

HD Native isn't supported on iMac currently.

The Mac Pros should be updated very soon, so I would hold off.

As for the Imac, if you have one of the newer ones with Thunderbolt, you will soon have the option of using a PCIe to Thunderbolt chassis with it, which will allow you to use HD Native.

There are two companies coming out with these products. They have been delayed for a while, but one is supposed to be coming out at the end of this month (from Magma) and the other is supposed to come out at the end of April (from Sonnet).
