So I had to make due with some parts that aren't mac proprietary but when I couldn't find an exact match I over estimated what the spec is. Most of this was found on Newegg.com The Mac I based this on was the $2199.00 I built it for $1594.9…

lol, I'm getting mad for you.

Fair enough Robonerd. I really do understand why someone would want a Mac. I'm just frustrated with the bad wrap PCs get. Alot of Mac users don't even get the real differences between them. I don't own a Mac. I have been tempted in the past to g…

Heres an idea, instead of telling me I'm wrong and directing me to wikapedia. Why not give me the specs on an Apple that matches those specs in the home computer line? Seriously give me some descent apple specs... honestly...I just got off the Apple…

So your telling me that OSX under no circumstances barrows any code from Linux at all? zip zero notta? And for that mater apple doesn't lift ideas from linux distros or other open source? I admitted they arent exactly the same, but it's like homosap…

To give you a spec idea...... I have a lion li case I got for 120 bucks- small form factor and polished aluminum. A AMD phenom 2 running at 3.8 gigs I bought for 200 bucks. A ATI graphics card 4870 I bought for 150 bucks. Gigabyte mother boar…

From the perspective of a PC guy who doesn't use Windows I'm just saying both company's treat their customers like Junk. Apple for over charging and Windows for it's bad business practices. You should all feel taken advantage of because you have bee…

Oh I'm completely aware of this. They all have to start somewhere..... Jesus, a lot of Linux distros don't even use the same kernel. I see I've touched a sore point.... But the fact is that they are very similar... I know the history of his company …

I'm ok with going down this Road. OSX is a collection of other open source software combined with proprietary Apple software. I say Linux because it's the open source that everyone knows but they borrow quite a bit off other opensource. I'm using Li…

Um, lets not confuse it...the evolution of OSX came through Linux. It's based on Linux like Windows is based on dos.....alot of evolution has occurred in the mean time but...... Windows is no longer dos based but you sure as hell can see the remnant…

Guys, Listen.... I've realized that a vast majority of you are trying to compare specs and another chunk keeps yelling about user experience. the Mac OS is just a retooled version of Linux.

I completely get why someone would want a mac. Not everyone wants to know everything about their comp. Just like I couldn't care less how my cars engine works. Macs make sense if you want something you don't need to worry about, runs fine, can brows…

I guess in the end, if you want it to work consistently get a MAC. If you like power and versatility get a PC.

solipsism, No argument there, the newbie would find mac easier to use. Perhaps your right that I'm looking at the model backwards but I still think the end product is the same. I meant it literally runs better. Not easier necessarily to use. If y…

solipsism, Youre absolutely right. Theres no reason they can't do it now. Innards might have been a poor choice of words but.... Come on, your really think that OSX is any more optimized for it's hardware than a DELL DIMENSION is for windows? I m…

lol, I actually like Linux a lot. Was a cheap shot.

I disagree. Hardware compatibility is an issue for everyone, but honestly if MS can do it Apple could do it to. There would be HW companies knocking down Apples doors to get support for their product. We aren't talking about Linux here kids. Oh wait…
