Even though Apple costs four times as much

Show me any PC with specs anywhere close to the Core i7 iMac for the same price, let alone one for $600.00 and I will eat my new mouse.

i7 with all four (or eight if you will) cores running at 3.8 Ghz (No turboing one core faster here)

Gigabyte X58-UD4P Mobo

TRIPLE channel 6 GB DDR3 running at 1600

2 ATI 4890's running in Crossfire

2.5 TB WD storage

Blu-Ray/Lightscribe DVD

TV tuner

25.5 inch Asus Monitor

Cosmos 1000 case w/window

800 watt Mushkin Power Supply

etc.

All shipped to my door without breakage 6 months ago for $2500. Would be less today, or could buy even better for around same price (http://techreport.com/articles.x/17787/8) I want a video of you eating your mouse. Anyone that knows how to use a phillips screwdriver can build a box that will smoke a Mac in performance and features using top notch components. Congratulations on your new Mac.
