I have a PC desktop that is out of warranty and if it brakes I can just changed the parts myself. Is this possible with e.g. Powermacs, iMacs or Emacs? If I would be able to repair the computer myself, it could save me some money in the long run.
Great!iGary said:PowerMacs, especially the G4's are very user-serviceable. The more "all in one" you get the more difficult it get, but the new iMac seems very accesible to me.
Go to www.macsales.com and watch the installation videos. I think you will see the myth that Macs are not serviceable is untrue.![]()
