... Yeah Apple really show the way from the tidy cable point of view, sometimes when I'm doing a build I keep a pic of an iMac handy for inspiration but it's impossible to get close, I always seem to end up with the usual pc tangle that the system buiders do. Sata cables have helped a bit though. Oh ********!! Clouded and deluded mind ... I work with Mac & PC's and most of the recent corporate PC's are light years ahead of the stodgy crappy old Macs ( and I do mean the new ones)! Macs do have a place - on a shelf, turned off ... for those not enlightened enough to find a good-looking PC that performs better in every sense ;p a |

... Most built systems I've seen look as if the owner's 12 year old son or daughter has assembled them!! Any high-end system I've seen by Alienware and others are far beyond what any 12 year old could produce! Stop buying Dell's and see the alternatives!! Not saying that a well-built home PC can't match them easily - just rarely do in my experience! a |

If you have ever seen a G5 open you will know that no pc ever built has got close to it (buildwise). HTH |

They're not in any way impressive. In fact the Compaq Deskpro's (boring corporate machines) are neater internal designs .. and easier to service. I work with both and have done for some time so don't lecture me on them. I disagree on your point and maintain that Mac users always have this attitude that they have machines from the God's for some reason. Suppose they have to feel happy about all that money they wasted when a coffee table would have looked better in their living room ... a |
