Well, and please don't hate me for this, but I'm a PC. I just am. Granted, as a gamer you have got to have one of each, Mac and PC; however, I find that Mac is very restrictive--this does come with its benefits, I've never known a college student who got a virus on a Mac. Keeping this in mind, lets look at the basics: I just finished looking at the Mac Pro Tower, thank you again, BTW; and it is so exorbitantly expensive that I am still in shock from it. On my PC, I can literally come up with a Motherboard, I7, and 64 GB RAM, with a NVIDIA EVGA GeForce GTX 690 Hydro-Copper Signature 2 GB VRAM GPU, and a 5 ghz overclock, for around $2000, I can build a complete system from the ground up in under 10, maybe even 3 to 5... I would have to spend about $12000 to create a Mac Tower with comparable components. Mac is archaic in that it allows no true freedom or creativity, no expression, in its most important parts; the hype over Thunderbolt is what Usb 3.0 was when it first came out. Every month, hundreds and thousands more IOPS are being added to Data storage & interfacing devices, and in 2,3, or maybe even 4 years, Mac will find a way to implement these same technologies, albeit being pretty darned late to the party.
