| 586390 | 2007-09-04 07:28:00 | i didint know that white and clear plastic was so expensive :O MacPros are made of aluminum, the older iMacs are made of plastic and the newer ones including plod's one are made of aluminum. PS is MacH8r still unconscious on the floor? |

| 586391 | 2007-09-04 07:49:00 | YES. Unless your talking about some specific sorts of game controllers or something, otherwise it is pretty much "plug and play". so in your average mac you could go out and buy a 8600gt and expect it to work? how bout the mini macs? and the ones built into the monitor? |

| 586392 | 2007-09-04 08:03:00 | so in your average mac you could go out and buy a 8600gt and expect it to work? I haven't tried it myself so I can't tell you. The hardware I was referring to when I originally answered the question was for external type hardware such as cameras, video cams, connecting to servers, additional monitors, media players, hi fi and stereo equipment etc as opposed to internal graphics cards for gaming which I assume is what your referring to. how bout the mini macs? and the ones built into the monitor? Same as above. |

Not sure, no and no. probably as customizable as a HP or DELL, keep hearing on the forum they use odd ball cases and MB. FACT: want a computer you want to be able to customize, build one yourself. No argument here. Winmacguy has this confused, A very small percentage of people on this forum would buy off the shelf computers, unless its a laptop or a mac. We all know you can build one cheaper then buying one off the shelf. What I think winmac might be trying to say in his own way is that if your going to buy a major brand computer mac's are no more expensive then any other Major brand. If I post in this thread again, you all have permission to kick my arse. |
