both computers are powerful computers... do you like sitting in front of Windows XP installing security updates all day or do you like working on a crash proof system like OS X.... decide- it has nothing to do with the case, the chip, or even the software becuase most of the software metioned is available on both platforms- it has to do with the OS-
You can build your own PC like a hot rod junkie building a mean machine in the 70's. Yeah it might end up cheaper- Wonder Bread is cheaper at the Value Plus store too.. but then you will have to wonder- yeah why isnt this working- and why is this having a problem- maybe I need a driver- or an update... think about this- HOTRODS... think about anyone you have ever met who owns a classic hotrod car.... what do you notice? They are always fixing it- every couple miles- it needs this and that- but hell its fast and cheap.....
to me that is a bother- as to alot of mac users- I want it to work and go... some say we are diehards who only care about form over function- but I think its completely
the other way around-
we buy it and have it for years and it goes- and hell it looks good too- I'm happy PC heads can play more versions of Tetris than we can- I use my computer for work........

yeah its a freakin debate- I hate this topic- to end point I am forced to use a PC everyday at work JUST CAUSE and to me its damn ass backwards- take away my case but leave the OS that;s why I use a mac. Most PC heads used a mac about 3 times.....
