Stephen,
You had me at ‘BMW design group designed the HP Z-series computers from the inside out.’
: )
Heat syncs, covers, access to CPU, card slots and drive bays, power supply, cooling, quietness…..all in perfect harmony. You feel like you’re popping the hood of an M series when you take the cover off. Except that (unlike the car) the user can easily get inside and work his/her way around the chassis.

> A PC with the same specs as a Mac would, in fact, still be significantly cheaper. Price and choice are the main reasons for buying a PC.
Note that I did not use the word “specs”. I use the words “components” and warranty. This would include things like the level of the company support, type of case, grade of cooling fans, keyboard, mouse, warranty, application certification etc. That’s why an HP workstation costs about the same as Mac Pro and iMac about the same as top-end All-in-One from Asus, Dell, HP etc.
