If you purchase a mac, get good everything except: hard drive, ram, and monitor. All of those are cheaper to purchase else where and easy to install. Mac's suck for upgrading just about every other component.
also why is that everytime anyone ask a question about a mac everyone piles on the bandwagon about macs suck, they are overpriced, etc.
i don't come into your silly pc threads and tell you how much they suck. christ

i say dont get a mac because they simply dont have the edge on graphics that PC does anymore...you cant even get a rendering card installed in a mac. for graphics design, id say thats pretty damn important.
I'm guessing because its the truth??Marlboroman82 wrote:

Nature is a powerful force. Those who seek to subdue nature, never do so permanently.
Well, generally they do cost more than the competition. Argue that and I'll give you a cookie.Marlboroman82 wrote:

Actually, if you do that you are quite a hero indeed. Because of the layout of the G5, you can only put in a MicroATX motherboard. Someone over at [H]ardForum has gone and done a professional full ATX mod, and has been sponsored by Swiftech I believe because of the quality of his work. This would take a lot of time and money.Bertster7 wrote:

Wow, those are some pretty good savings.Marlboroman82 wrote:

Actually, it's piss easy to mount an ATX board in a G5 chassis. I've done 3 so far, all you have to do is mod the mountings and back panel a little bit.kylef wrote:

I know of dozens of people who have done the exact same thing too.

Macs are overly expensive, the design isn't all that pretty (face it, plain white is boring), the hardware inside isn't really top of the line, except for the really, really expensive Macs. And then a PC with about the same specs would still be alot cheaper.Marlboroman82 wrote:

The only somewhat positive thing is that their OS is built for proprietary hardware and thus is supposed to be alot more stable. But anyone controlling a computer can screw it over, no matter if it's a regular PC or a Mac.
