selling my Desktop.
 

Im going sell my destop, and then im buying a mac because windows is s***.

here are the specs.
intel pentinum 4 3.0ghz prescott chip.
1 gig ram 2 x 512
160 gig harddrive
nvidia 6800gt video card.
upgraded 400watt power supply.

the thing is i have no clue how much i should ask for it. i was thinking a grand, it being a fairly heavily upgraded machine. It can play any game you throw at it and do most of anything.

i honestly don't know.

what would you pay for it?

looks like I can get a new dell with the same specs for a grand so there is a starting point, just remeber macs can get virus's too (alot of the new ones are targeting macs because they got cockey)

Yeah, just remember that anything you do with Windows will take 2 times as long to do on a Mac because macs are toy machines, not true computers. ;)

really, thinking about it more, you'd have a better results with putting a *nix OS on your comp than going to Mac.. you have quite a good set up there.

where do you get that most graphics pros use macs for business, but they don't do games well

Just uninstall Windows and get a copy of Fedora 3. Free from their site, problem solved.

FYI, you wont be able to play your games on a linux box, so it might be worth it to run a dual boot Linux/Windows machine, and only run your games from Windows

yeah, i was thinking about a grand but i didn't want to over shoot it. I know all about the pc vs mac world. remember i sell computers. but my apple rep at work can get me an awesome deal on almost anything i want. im pretty much done with gaming too, that sparked a serious intrest in a mac.
