These will be popular among the geeks, but the Mac masses will stick to boxes from Cupertino.

You mean there are Mac users who aren't geeks?

Yawn..

Hate to break it to the Mac-crowd... but those of us who has stuck to the open 'standard' that the ordinary* PC is has been able to do this for years. Got several OS's to choose from as well - even if I must say X looks sexier than most.

And another thing; having looked at the article and done the numbers, I can't help to think that the same amount of green would have gotten you a more powerfull PC - even if you choose to support the devil and put Windows on it. Get hold of a linux-distro however, and I feel you could get a more powerful PC cheaper.

*) By ordinary I mean a x86 based machine, with the CPU from Intel, AMD or another vendor who produces chips to the same spesifications. After all, PC means Personal Computer, which can include everything from a overclocked P4, via a Mac and down to, well, my old C64 for example.
