true :)
and, i just priced a purely custom built dual xeon 3g system with 512 ddr, two 120g hdd's on a raid 1, with a ati 9600 gc for 1700 bucks give or take a few dollars for parts like fans and cold-cathode lighting... :)
more then enough left in the g5 budget to get a swank flat panel...
just an fyi.
hehe.

I agree, I was just getting my price from dell....
buiolding your own is always the way to go in PC land

btw, brun, that illustration on your site is amazing...

Well, you can make Windows imitate OSX if you want.. There's alittle app called object dock on wincustomize.com that emulates the OSX toolbar with the rollover zoom and all that.. Although that's only one little part of the OS, it makes your desktop look like a Mac to the casual observer. However, I'm pretty sure after using it a while there was some memory leakage and slowed performance, so I stopped using it.

im so sick of this crap. apple vs pc, mac vs pc, linux vs pc blah blah blah blah blah. screw you guys. pcs are simple. they can be upgraded, unlike macs, they arent TRANSLUCENT like everything else apple infected.. and flat out, they WORK. im sorry windows XP sometimes crashes for the lone tweaker or cry baby out there. ive been running my PC for almost 4 months strait in windows XP. I havent restarted it, nor has it crashed. I dual boot linux on my webserver, for security reasons and stability *worries* the only time i ever came close to crashing this thing was when i was programming in VB and made a code error. MY fault!. PCS are faster... oh look whats that? the AMD athlon 64! do macs support 64-bit architecture, NO!!! do PCS, YES!! does linux--oh wait another yes!! sorry for being crude, but after losing all of my work to a G4, i resent macs. i always will. PERIOD!

great so you push text files around....I am sure that is stable....it's text.
I think the design community here is talking about large format graphics and said programs that go along with them.....
the g5 is a 64 bit architecture...as is AMD, intel hasnt joined the fray as yet....we must wait for 2005 before they do according to their site

"64! do macs support 64-bit architecture, NO!!! "

the reason that my comment about apple selling more boxes than any other computer company is relevant is because i was explaining why they will never port the os to work on a pc. they make their money on boxes and they make more money than any pc maker does.
seems like that was the topic of this thread doesn't it? "osx for pc?"
so who is irrelavant?
- gavinnosler0
It was irrelevant to what I was discussing, which had nothing to do with the topic of this thread. My bad.
Anyways, I thought this quote was pretty interesting for the people favoring Linux because of security etc.:
"The single biggest security issue facing Linux users at the moment is the misconception perpetuated by highly vocal advocates that Linux is somehow impenetrable to security-based attacks, and in particular, viruses and other malware."
