I just don't think the size is worth $600.

Should've said that then, kiddo, rather than call everyone who doesn't agree with you and your very biased opinion a gullible retard! :toast:

Given that, I really shouldn't even bother with this, but what the heck, I've got 5 minutes spare! [*cough*] In short, while I appreciate your self-proclaimed business prowess, you said you could build a computer with "better specs" for $200-300, and that's what I called you out on. Your reply basically said "you're dumb" plus "you can build a computer that turns on" for $200-300, then spewed a bunch of bull about multi-user licenses and crap that most consumers don't have, and still failed to own up to your original argument!

But oh well, guess you put me in my place... :respect:

Also, on a note of not-so-subtle irony, I run a Blackjack with Windows Mobile 6.1, so go ahead and throw your evident impression that anybody and everybody who would dare defy the anti-Mac standard must own an iPhone in the trash, along with your pathetic logic and over-the-line flaming.

It's a computer, for Christ's sake, and I think we all need to calm down a little bit about it. The anti-Mac sentiment in the PC community has become pretty ridiculous, especially because they are built with the same parts as Windows-based machines. So why again with the name-calling? :shadedshu

p.s. The cheapest 9400 board on NewEgg is $129. They do not sell the exact chip Apple is using, but the closest two models (slightly above and below, respectively) are the T7250 @ $209 and the P8400 @ $216. This is not a cheap build, at any size, and Apple's price is more than fair. Yes, as per your amended argument, you could build a faster computer for $600, but you would lose out on size and efficiency by a HUGE margin, so the comparison is largely unreasonable. What this should be compared to, however, is the Dell Studio Hybrid.
