You could build a computer better than a 3,000 dollar Aurora Alienware for a quarter of the price? Here's the parts inside the case:
AMD Athlon 64 FX-51 Processor
1GB Registered DDR SDRAM PC-3200
120GB Seagate Serial ATA 8MB Cache
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5950 Ultra 256MB
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Big Case
You could get all of this [plus more bits and things] for about $750?
I know there aren't many good games for Macs, but my dad didn''t buy a G5 for games anyway. [Side note - Macs do have HALO, which made the Xbox popular.] He's using it for making high-quality flash movies on chemical functions of the body for a big science website. But for his flash movies, he's using very high-poly 3D animations made in Cinema 4D, annd he needed to upgrade to a fast computer, and a $2200 dual-processor G5 was pretty much the perfect machine.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)
