Mac users are used to paying for that. ;-)

 

Personally for PCs, I prefer pre-built systems from a known manufacturer (Boxx, Dell, HP, etc). They're usually tested very well and support tends to be good, especially if you pay for Premium support. Building a system or having a workstation custom built tends to involve more problems and incompatibilities. I doubt many Mac users want to become PC sysadmins, so buying something pre-built with good support is probably a better option. PCs have enough quirks without sticking a bunch of compenents together that haven't been tested together.

 

 

Cheers,

Jim

Boxx makes some nice machines. If you want solid out of the box they are a good choice. You pay for that though.

For win based machines the only option is to buy a Z800 or a Dell Precision? Or build It one by one?

well,

for all you Mac users out there who may be making a switch soon, be in comfort knowing you've got a few well versed PC veterans on this list who can help you with suggestions and builds.. I'd even be willing to help physically build out a PC for you guys if you ever need it.
