I find that hard to believe with the prices of some of the computers out there these days, especially when you throw in tech support, software bundles, etc. ... :?

Not that that's going to stop me from building <i>my</i> own, of course.

What I dont get about macs is why theirs such a misconseption that they're some sort of gods when it comes to video, image and audio editing. Sure they've got a few high end apps, but windows has a wider range of similar apps which are at least as powerfull as their mac equivalents. Software is also a fair bit mre expensive for macs. Shake is the most prohobitively priced piece of software I've ever heard off.

Consoles? Most people arent computer geeks so unless they felt that after 5 years it should be time to clean the dust out, most people dont have any valid reason for opening up and messing around with a computers insides.

No matter how you look at it the self made is the best. Its always cheaper and more powerfull. Too bad you can't build your own mac. :(


Alot of companies do things like solder on the parts and other tricks to stop you from upgrading the box. However my first comp (compaq 5000, 128sdr, 1ghz athlon, 20gb hdd) came with an agp slot, two unused pci's and 3 total ram slots. I was able to upgrade every component except the cpu before I finaly god a new mobo. I still use the case.

Despite what you may hear, it is possible to upgrade prefabs, I mean, they have to make money on machines they've alreay sold somehow. They do allow you to upgrade the proccessor, memory, video card(sometimes, if you paid for an AGP slot), hard drive ect. only probem is that they design thier mobos to fit exclusively inside the cases, so you can't upgrade that, and the BIOS is designed to only take certain kinds of upgrades (I.E. the expensive ones) for instance memory. Single sided memory is cheap and easy to get ahold of, while double sided is more espensive. guess what kind Dell's only take? :roll:
