I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

I'd like to see SOMEBODY make a new run of PPC cards even if only one model for 1200 and one model for 2/3/4000 !!!

Good antiques have always been expensive. Why are so many suprised?

Even if someone buy a Mac is crazy since he could have a more cheaper PC (also at 1/3 of its price) without problem..

That's not true if you're talking about a Mac Pro. Mine has a 2.8Ghz Quad Core Xeon. At GamePC.com, these CPUs range from about $1,000 to $1,500, and now you have to build a computer around them. Whether these Xeons offer a huge performance increase over a Core 2 Quad is doubtful, but they are definitely more expensive, and they require an expensive motherboard, too. At Game PC I configured a PC to have essentially the same specs as my year-old MacPro, purchased for $2,799. The specs included the 2.8Ghz Quad Core Xeon, 2GB RAM, 500GB Western Digital HD, a GeForce 9800GT 512MB to substitute for the Mac's GeForce 8800GT 512MB, a DVD burner, OS, etc., plus a nice Silverstone Fortress case. The total came to $3,451 USD. That's almost $700 more than a 1 year old Mac.

I'll agree that it's easy to go to a less expensive builder such as Cyberpower and build a very potent Core i7 machine for $1,500 or less, but that's still much more than 1/3 of the Mac's price, and how quiet will it be? My MacPro, with all the previously mentioned gear plus 4 big HDs is extremely quiet. As for my PC, I need to wear earplugs to use it, and this is not my first PC by any means. All my PCs have been pretty loud, sometimes very loud.

So, the MacPro is the Rolls Royce of PCs, and is a bargain against comparable and probably much louder PCs. Excellence is worth paying for.

I was lucky enough to pick one up a few years back. It really is a great piece of hardware (the thing weighs a ton!)

The only thing I wish it had was a cpu slot... i'm limited to the derringer board that I have.

Only Problem is Software Hut.
I just can not trust them to send a working version of anything.
