Indeed. If you want to build your own computer I'm afraid you'll have to build a PC. I mean I still enjoy building PCs, but I enjoy using my Mac more. ;)

Not true. I built my last PC a couple years ago for under $600 and it's still running as fast as anything (PC-wise) you can buy today. You just have to know how to piece a system together and maintain. :ninja:

Same here, I built my PC system around 18 months ago, I have absolutely no motivation to upgrade right now.

What does exadruating mean?

A bottom of the line Powermac costs double what my PC cost, so yeah, given the choice, I would gladly trade it straight up for a new Powermac, it better have a 9800 Pro(at least) though....

This is all really irrelevant to the question of whether or not you can buy Macintosh components and built your own.

mynameis hit the nail on the head, a lot of the time it comes down cost. Granted I wont be piecing another PC together anymore but I still enjoy doing so; for friends & family and I may even upgrade my current PC system just for kicks. But as mynameis also stated, I too would also trade up for a PM system, no doubt about it.
