on the pc side, one could simply build what they want and have choices of motherboards, processor, hard drives, ram, etc (nowdays it's not more economical becuase the big companies get such a break buying in huge bulk)
but what if you could build your own mac? ...and get the parts at office depot, fry's, or circuit city?
and what if laptops had more standard parts...and ample room inside (1/4' to 1/2" inch more)...what would you build? (granted, something like this would look bulky like my old rev a ibook;) )
i would build a mac desktop in a quicksilver enclosure, dual 1 ghz processors, maxed out ddr RAM when that becomes available, superdrive, motherboard with fatest available bus, and 128 MB video card
and if i could build a mac laptop, i would use current fastest processor..800 g4..ddr ram when it became avaiable...the ibm 72 GB hard drive..and the 64 MB ati video card pc laptops are using now (i would also like the stadard ports now used and have the superdrive when that became available):D
