1) I wasn't going to use newegg.com because they somehow sell things for so cheap. I was using what I consider a 'normal' retail website like bestbuy.com and amazon for the comparison. Newegg.com is just two awesome.
2) Gateways suck. They break down all the time. You would be amazed the price difference between mediocre and high quality parts.
3) Cheap monitor = 400$. Samsung high quality monitor = 1000$

Like I said I worked at a computer shop for 2 years after getting my computer science degree and before I became an officer in the USAF. Sony is the only brand I could use that has the quality to compare to Macs. It goes something like this: E-machine
My point is that I just chose a brand that wasn't crap on a normal retail website and compared it to a Mac. I didn't rig the comparison any by picking a specific website or looking around for a specific computer to make my point. I literally took the first Sony computer I found and then found a Mac on Apple's website that was close to it.
