I feel that many here are not of the cult of Mac and it is hard to read the things that you all post. I want to build my Mac.

No No and again NO!

There are cars you drive and cars you work on. We drive our Macs and work on our Pee Cees. I know it will take some getting used to but it really is nicer this way.

I know you are used to being nickeled and dollared to the point that you think you are saving money by this do it yourself mentality. Lets see barebones computer add sound card add speakers add memory add virus protection add photo edit program add music subscription add Cd writing program add fan add better power supply because the one that came with the case crapped out when you added the second hard drive but it was cheap because no one uses harddrives that small anymore and this zip drive would be cool in that extra bay.

I know we are all trying to get along here Mac and Pee Cee but.....just because a Mac will run Windoze, do not expect Steve to sell something less than an Apple.
