    • "custom built PC" vs Off shelf consumer Mac. Curious how it would do against the Mac Pro.Gnash
    • ^ yes, the Mac would crush it, but keep in mind the COST. Wayyyyyyy higherdrake-von-drake
    • if the PC had a display even close to the 5K res 27" that comes with the iMac it would be way more expensive than $4kmonospaced
    • the off-the-shelf MacPro is $3,999Gnash
    • Stupid comparison. Also, who cares.nb
    • $2,999, I'm sure that was a typo.monospaced
    • ^ that's for the quad, $3.9K for the 6-coreGnash

    • Its a bit disappointing that there isnt hardcore apple clone community it seemsyurimon
    • ^ they tried a few years back. Apple wasn't very accommodating.Gnash
    • I would build a hackintosh in a heartbeat if the whole thing didn't involve so many unknowns and possible headachesmonospaced
    • when they did license Mac OS to 3rd party developers, I owned the fastest Mac at the time and it was a PowerComputing rig, and it was cheaper than a Macmonospaced
