lol, nothing but noobs here. The imac 27" isn't a good deal? lol. The i7 iMac don't stack up to the mac pro quad? I can build an i7 that kills the imac i7, lololol. The 4850 isn't a high end card? The 4850 isn't enough for the i7 27" imac? It isn't enough to push that res/ Has anyone even looked at the specs of the card. It can push 2550x1600. Maybe not on max but it can do it easily. People say the 4850 isn't enough is crazy. I can play Modern Warfare AT MAX settings at full res, if you don't believe me ill give you a link to the video. The 4850 is MORE than enough to play any game VERY WELL. Especially for an average gamer. This is a consumer machine, not a high end gaming rig. Price or not, its not meant for games even though it can game with the best of them. I did a poll at work. Out of all the pc users, you know how many had GPU's better than the 4850? 3 out of 15. You hostly think the average gamer has a better gpu than the 4850? 75% of pc gamers don't have better than the 4850, this is a fact. Most buy an OEM and play games with what they have. To suggest the 4850 is just not gonna do it is stupid. If macs are bad for having the 4850, what does it make all those OEM pc's without a 4850? I can go to dell and show you MANY MANY of them. SO are the only people able to play games own a 5870? or all 3d users ned a quadro? lol. I work in 3d professionally, rendering hours at a time and the 4850 handles all 3d apps i use with EASE! Am i the only one who gets it or are there this many stupid people in the world?

And as someone who has built his own PCs, I say it's not worth the hassle for 90% of computer users. You end up with an ugly box that has pitiful resale value within a week, warranties from a dozen different manufacturers that you have to deal with yourself if something goes wrong, savings that are minimized after you pay $200+ for a legitimate copy of Windows (which I know most build-it-yourselfers don't do, making their argument illegitimate anyway), no bundled software, and a machine that runs...Windows.
Worth the money you'll save over the 3+ years you're going to use your computer? Not in my book.

Not at all. If you're building a PC, the OEM price is the legitimate price for an OS to go with the hardware that you're buying.
Why would anyone pay $185 when they're entitled to pay $99? (Maybe I shouldn't ask that question on a Mac forum, where people brag about paying $1850 for hardware that's sold for $990 on the PC side....)

Yes, and I'm sure you comply with all those tricky OEM license restrictions as well. 🙄
But hey, don't go diluting your gospel with those inconvenient little truths.

I'm sure that's stopping the Tiger users from buying the $29 Snow Leopard upgrade. 😛

Since when does arguing against a second wrong validate the first?
(And I didn't know that buying $29 copies of Snow Leopard for Tiger owners was the situation being debated?)
And since this is a Mac discussion board, when will the DIY trolls finally skulk back to Tom's Hardware or Anandtech where the discussion is actually relevant?

Perhaps the act of unrelentingly pedaling Windows on a Mac forum would be the more questionable here.

How can this be applied to 99% of the people here. I could buy parts for a Hackintosh and go buy a $29 dollar copy of SL. Then the next thin I ask is WTF cares.

Apparently he does, in a most peculiarly obsessive, and borderline desperate manner.

Again, there are those among the 95% that are driven mad by the fact there are 5% of us who refuse to walk lockstep with their computing theology. Why? I have no idea.
One would assume that someone who proselytes the alternative lifestyle in his sig would personally understand the desire of the minority (in this case, the alternative computing lifestyle) to be tolerated (and unharrassed) by the majority, but in this particular case that assumption would be wrong. 😕
The irony is astounding.
Why?
I thought Macs could run Windows, don't they? In fact I have an impression that most Mac users do run Windows using Bootcamp or Parallels. Macs and Windows are now more compatible than ever before. After all, it's Mac forum, not OS/X forum.

You've said it - perhaps we should, then, anticipate contradiction, to an even higher degree, from such an avid advocate of double standards - but to this extent?
Irony - redefined.
Mac's certainly do run Windows, and many users utilize both platforms.
What is your point?
Do you feel that it is either appropriate, and/or ethical to perpetually shill Windows, Linux, or OS X, for that matter, on a public forum? Via a link in one's signature (recently), no less?
