Couldn't find an answer on the Steam forums (probably not using the right search term).
If I'm away from my PC and the sales are on (holiday time for example), can I buy a game for myself but not have it installed on the PC that I bought it on?

I thought steam purchases are tied to your steam account, not computer.

Yes, you can. The Steam app sort of railroads you into installing it after buying, but there is a chance to stop the process after buying but before installing (or just cancel the download after it begins).

The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

Yes that works! As already said, steam purchases are tied to your account.
It goes even so far that you can get cross-plattform lizences...at least that happened when I bought Grid 2 for PC in a steam sale for ~10 Euro and also had the game in my steam account for Mac after the purchase (the Mac version would have cost ~40 Euro)!
