This raises the point actually John. Do Apple sell the motherboards
and other components for the Mac as separate items? I have to agree
with Dennis though. If you buy a Mac pre-built, then you know what
you're getting and it just works. I had a quick look at and play
with an Intel IMac on Thursday. Very nice machines, and I intend to
buy one later this year.

Hi Gordon,
Good points. Yes, I am no fan of Dell either. I've heard so many
horror stories from both individual and corporate users about HD failures
and other annoyances right out of the box. When you put that into
perspective, regardless of a few bucks, it's still a better value to build a
system yourself in the Windows world.
As I said, I don't do it much any more, so I haven't really gone beyond
the research for the system I am using, which is pretty much a high end job
that ran me about $800 in total when all was said and done.
I also have no idea what the costs are by comparison for a Mac system
done from scratch. I'd be curious to hear of future findings.
