Again, take any Computer, put mac OSX on it, and you get the exact same results as over paying for the damn box at the store. So go buy yourself a far superior and cheaper PC, double it's speed since the cost is different, and put the far superior mac osx on it, and you have a totally kick ass box that no store bought mac could touch.

I did this a little while back, but I'm to lazy to get todays price... so deal with it... But, here's a little wake up to all those yelling about how expensive a mac is...
Ok, this is just getting stupid. Lets compare price directly from Dell and Apple shall we? I used the closes configuration so this could be fair...
Ok, So starting with Apple
Configuration
twin 3.2GHz Quad Xeon
2 Gig Ram (Up to 32gb in Machine)
320 Gig HD (Could have up to 4 drives in machine)
1 16x superdrive
Video card, base included ATI HD 2600 XT 256MB
Apple 20' Flat display
Cost=$4,998.00
DELL
Twin 3.16 Quad Xeon x2
2GB Ram (Only shows up to 4 available in configuration)
320GB HD (can have up to 3)
1 16x dvd burner
Video card Base, included 256MB PCIe x16 nVidia Quadro FX570
20" ultrasharp flatscreen (Almost = to Apples display)
Starting Price $5,202
Instant Savings $524
Subtotal $4,678
By my math that a savings of 320 bucks buying the Dell over the apple... But wait..That was AFTER taking 524 bucks OFF dells price cause they happen to have a coupon right now. OK. The the actual price before applying any specials, the Dells more..
It can hold less drives, Hold less memory. The processors are slower...
Shall I go on? If your going to start telling people how much more expensive the apples are you should try to build a base machine that actually somewhat compares to the apple.
