PC Discussion - mac vs. pc - View Post

PCs are cheap, they are CHEEEEEEEAP.  I can build a PC that is much faster than a Mac, and I'm not just talking about games, for TONS, TONS, TONS cheaper.  There's no argument there...any Mac fan that tries to refute it always brings up Dell prices, and that's not what I'm talking about.

Ok, you have $7,700 to spend, build me:

8 core 3.2 Ghz Xeon
2GB ram (Expandable to 36GIG)
4TB Raid system (inside the case) with 1 hour battery backup built in. (and 384MB cache)
4x ATI Radion HD2600 XT cards
802.11n/Bluetooth
Two independent 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet (RJ-45) interfaces with support for jumbo frames
16x Double-layer DVD writer
Two Firewire 800 and two Firewire 400 ports.

Good luck finding another system that can even do that, let alone for under 8 grand.
