[H]@RD5TUFFit's the hardware I dislike, as you pay 3 times as much for half the horsepower

Wrong. iMac, Mac Mini and MacPro bae models are all priced properly for their hardware.

You cannot compare build-it-yourself to an OEM computer. Not the same market.

Show me an all-in-one with the same power as iMac with an IPS screen, at the same price.

Show me a mini system with the same size and performance as a Mini for the price.

Show me a dual CPU workstation with the same features and performance as a base model MacPro at the same price from another OEM.

They do have overpriced stuff, but not all of it is. A little research will show you that. What is it with this forum, and blind Apple hate? It just as bad as blindly devoted Apple fanboys. At least do some research and have a reason to hate them, not spout 10 year old misconceptions.

Given I have gotten a card with the wrong BIOS on it, I payed for a 9600xt, but it came flashed as a 9600.

Saphire = over priced junk.

RebelstarOnly for me design reminds nvidia cards?

You mean like this one?

Wile EIt's my bedroom computer. I use it all the time. She does use it more often tho. It's nicer for managing multiple programs and windows for me. I wish Windows had Expose.

Sounds like you need to master all the keyboard shortcuts windows has but doesn't tell anyone about.

Increases productivity and window management by up to 5000%!!!

All the windows key + (insert key here) keyboard short cuts is what I'm talking about.

I usually don't close things and just leave stuff running and can swap between things fairly rapidly. ( cept FF tabs, to many of them lol)

I know them all. I have a high speed mouse. Mouse gestures work better for me.

If you wanted to could always add them yourself : ]
