      The last 3 pcs and a laptop I bought off of http://www.tigerdirect.com and I've never had a problem with them. I normally pay for next day air or 2nd day just cause I hate waiting for things to come after I pay for them. They always come when they say they will and give you all the tracking info

                      the Mac is an option i'm considering - i just hate to have to learn a whole new way of doing routine things i've done for 15 years.

                        TIGERDIRECT.COM is the best/cheapest place. Luckily I live down the street so I just go to their store.

                            what's so good about Tiger Direct? i don't see that much choice in PC systems - HP, Systemax which i am assuming is their house brand, Lenovo

                            i want a place that has pre-configured systems as a base and then you can choose options to upgrade components.

                              yes but you can also dual boot with Windows anyway on it if you want

                              much easier to do it that way rather than buying a pc and hacking OSX on to it, do it man.

                                  I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I wish I was drinking wine instead.

                                    It's really not that big of a deal. You should get the hang of it in 30 minutes to an hour. Seriously.

                                            Do some research and build it yourself, be aware of issues. You can really create awesome setups on your own though.

                                                          Hey Mutt, if you really do want a PC and not a MAC I will build one for you. I have done a ton of custom systems over the years. I only charge $100 over the cost of the components/shipping/tax, etc. You pay 50% up front, I buy the components, put it together, ship it to you, you pay the other 50% on receipt of tracking #. I have sold one to Barefootsies on here.

                                                            it's a nice offer - i'll think about it.

                                                                  If you want something custom then take a look at that place posted up there or do a search locally for computer shops in your area.

                                                                  I just like Tiger Direct cause they seem to have the high end and low end covered and if you have enough time you can find a nice computer for what you are looking for. Another nice thing about them is their "factory refurbished pcs". These are not year old pieces of junk that cleaned up and re sold. They are new smelling machines that run as great as the ones that are brand new for a lot less money.

                                                                  I've ordered stuff from other places like amazon too but you have to be careful cause a lot of the stuff they sell is not from "amazon" but other retailers and some of them are fly by night places that will put your stuff on backorder after you've already paid for it. I buy my blue rays from Amazon cause they are from amazon and i can get them overnighted.


                                                                  I just like Tiger Direct cause I've bought things from them 15-20 times and not once did anything come later then they said it would or have i had to return anything due to being faulty.

If you did you would realize that Apple computers aren't much more than their PC counter-parts. Find me some pc notebooks with DDR3 ram, geforce graphics, etc, where the prices are much cheaper than Apple Macbooks.

If you know what you want or want to build / be responsible for your own machine then go through newegg or tiger. I work for the one I mentioned but really the only thing that makes my side of things different is I work directly with corporate IT departments, providing myself and my resources to them and do it better than Dell and tiger/newegg are a different business model as they dont really offer a dedicated rep.

                                                                            Its all in what you want and need But any of the new machines out there will do what you need unless you are doing a lot of video editing or gaming. Thats when the differences in machines start to matter.

Here's an idea if OSX is so fucking good why doesn't Apple sell it to PC users? I've never gotten that. There are million of people like me that will NEVER by an Apple. Not as long as it's 50% or more than a comparable PC and has very few upgrade options. However I might consider using OSX is I could get it for the PC and it priced similary to Windows. Wouldn't Steve Jobs want SOME money from me rather than NONE? You'd think after 30 years he'd get this.

I tend to disagree... I can boot... not just a mac os... but any commonly used os, from any of my machines... very easily... Don't let misinformation get the best of you.
