It's ok people, you can let go of the lies. I don't care if you use a PC or a Mac, but it's ok to buy a $400 PC without also having to tell yourself that you have the same computer as that big shiny iMac with the evil price tag.
(This is sarcastic humour, btw. I know the price tag isn't evil. It's an inanimate object, it doesn't have any tendencies at all.)
Ok... first of all... if you're building a complete computer that has a 26" screen with a built-in TV tuner for $600, I want to see this. Considering this list of 26" monitors at MemoryExpress ( http://www.memoryexpress.com/Product...9/Default.aspx), I'm going to call BS on this claim. Note the 26" monitor with built-in TV tuner is $500, which leaves you with $100 to build the rest of your entire PC. I'm sure you can get it cheaper, but you're going to need at least $300-$400 for the actual PC part of the equation, even if you cheap out on every single component.
Secondly, I know you can build cheap PCs. I do it myself all the time. You can't build a PC with the same specs as an iMac for less than what the iMac sells for. This is the ONLY point I have tried to make. |
You misunderstood... I said $600 less, not $600 total.
I get your argument, I understand it. You can get a cheap PC... you're not talking about that. I get that. You are talking about equivalent all-in-ones. I get that.
But go build an equivalent desktop tower PC. As I stated, for those that want to spend money on an equivalent PC, sans the all-in-one coolness factor, it IS cheaper.
