[QUOTE="slick316, post: 2347192, member: 547549"] I have an Apple laptop (MacBook, 2.0GHz, 2GB Ram, 80GB HD, blah blah). I love it. Its simple, easy to use, rarely have any issues on it, its perfect for simple everyday computing (I check my email on it, use the net, play music, watch DVD's, and store my work documents on it). When I use a PC daily, I want something that is hassle/worry free. I have been using Apple laptops since Jan. 2005, I will probably stick with their laptops, but desktops, I gotta stay with PC/Windows. The only appealing Apple desktop to me is the Mac Pro, and its too expensive for me, I choose to build my own. Just put together a new desktop PC: Dell 2407fpw 24" Widescree (1920x1200 goodness) - $680 Intel C2D E6600 2.4GHz 4MB Cache - $315 ASUS P5B-E Motherboard - $150 2GB Wintec AMPx ram (DDR667 runs at 800MHz no problems) - $200 LiteOn 16x DL DVD Burner with Lightscribe - $30 Antex NeoHE 550watt PSU - $100 Lian Li Aluminum case - $150 Logitech G15 keyboard - $55 Logitech MX1000 - $55 Klipsch Pro Media 2.0 speakers - $70 WD Raptor 74GB (boot drive) - $125 WD Caviar RE2 500GB SATAII - $190 and the pimpaliciousballershizzlefizzle eVGA 640MB 8800GTS PCIe x16 - $490 $2600 or so. More standard features than a Mac Pro, and the price includes a 24" monitor. The 8800 isn't in yet, but it should allow me to easily game at the monitors native res of 1920x1200. I can easily upgrade ALL components in this machine when I need to, thats flexibility. I do however limit my internet usage on this computer. I don't want to have to deal with stupidity like spyware/adware. My vote, both. [/QUOTE]
