.....So sure, we both get the same amount of money.

- You go buy the econosucksballsbrand mother board for $79.99.
- You go buy the low end Intel Quad Core for $380.

- I buy the top of the line Intel Server mother board for $599.99.
- I buy the high end Xenon Quad Core for $980.

Now, you come back saying you built a 3.0Ghz quad core Intel machine for only $460.
I come back and say I built a 3.0Ghz quad core Intel machine for $1,580.

You try to claim you built the same machine for a third of the price. Which is laughable, like all these debates. There is no price difference between a mac and a pc. A mac is built on pc hardware so there's really no debate at all. When people TRY to debate it, they debate by comparing utter piece of shit computers (like cheap model dells) to quality computers (like top model macs).

Anyone who builds their own computers and actually understands hardware components knows this.
