I think the manufacturer link is broken because it keeps going back to the assemblers webpage Wallow in your ignorance, The linked comp would slay the G5. Nice call with the Manufacturer/assembler link though, Granted it only reloads the page because its a dead end. Perhaps I should change that link on the system listing to assembler.....	Metla (12)
396946	2005-10-18 06:59:00	maybe because he made it? :illogical Anyway, does the iMac have 2gb of RAM? What about 400gb of hard drive? 5.1 speakers? How about a top of the line graphics card with 256mb of ram? 5 button scroll mouse? No? I'm sorry, I'm failing to see the "bargain" element No you are quite wrong edward, he assembled it, he had no input into the design of any of those componets, if he did my apologies, but then he wouldn't be living in wanganui. His has no builtin wifi,bluetooth. My question wasn't what his most expensive pc was, It was what would one with similar spec's.\ I thought the pc builders around here would have taken up the challenge just for the sake of proving me wrong and justify there continued arguments against the mac..... Not to get away from the original posters questions it would have been a good excersise for him/her to see	plod (107)

"What people use first will usually be their preference" Not true. They use what is thrust in front of them. For eg people don't use IE because it is their preference, it is because they are not aware of any other alternatives and it is only through forums like this that they are made aware of other programs or systems which can make their computer experience more enjoyable. OK should I use a Burroughs 3500 and program this in COBOL as I did in the early 1970s? I got dragged kicking and screaming into Windows as I worked and that was from MSDOS 6.22 into Win 3.11. The interesting part as usual is that you need to learn more. The Burroughs 3500 I used to program is now only a memory. As you say there are alternatives. It occurs to me that people can buy what they want.	Elephant (599)

I don't disagree with you Metla but my point was for something with similar spec's or price P.S you should really stop Edward from answering questions for you	plod (107)

How about a top of the line graphics card with 256mb of ram? 5 button scroll mouse? No? I'm sorry, I'm failing to see the "bargain" element Not everyone wants or needs 2gb of ram or 400gb hard drives. The type of things some of the regular forum members get involved with may require specs like that but for the average computer user they are not required. I do everything I want with only 256 of ram. I would rather have a 20in widescreen iMac for $2700 www.magnummac.co.nz than this one for $4600 www.computermedic.co.nz But that is only my opinion as it suits my requirements, others may need higher specs and are prepared to pay more.

You have a good point there Met,I doubt there is a counter argument to your well reasoned exposition.	Cicero (40)

Symiggy stated what his needs were and it wasn't for a $1200 graphic's card to play games with. I think you missed the point to the exercise I had asked Metla and any other pc builder to do, I also think metla missed the point so you are foregiven	plod (107)
