You just got Ripped off!!! The Apple 20" HD desplay woudn't cost anymore than $1500. And the PowerMac It's self would only be roughley about: $2500 All together. I don't understand what the extra $1000 dollars came from, but i think sou should just get one of the regular CRT displays instead. One for at least: $500 would be good.

yeah, that was a bit of a ripoff

• Dual 2.5GHz PowerPC G5
• 1GB DDR400 SDRAM (PC3200) - 2x512
• 160GB Serial ATA - 7200rpm
• NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL
• Apple Cinema Display (20" flat panel)
• 56k V.92 modem
• 8x SuperDrive (DVD-R/CD-RW)
• Bluetooth Module + Apple Wireless Keyboard & Mouse - U.S. English
• Mac OS X - U.S. English

Subtotal $4,997.00

When you add in all those options, the price does come to about that. There is no option for 1.5GB of RAM...it's either 1 or 2...so I did 1 and got about the price of 5000. What I would have done here is stepped down a few notches on the graphics card option, cut the Apple Display and gone with a third party one, and cut the wireless keyboard and mouse.

can apple computers accept ram you buy from shops and stuff?

Dude, the 2.5 GHz alone is $2999. And my dad is friends with a guy at the apple store, and the guy said that instead of putting 512 RAM in, they will just put a 1 GB in. He says they are gonna make it right at the store, so yea.

Also, the 20" monitor is $1299

Yes. RAM is RAM. PC or Mac, it'll work. In fact, right now a friend of mine is using the 256 mb stick of PC133 from my old iMac in her old Dell and it runs fine.

 

[waynejkruse10]

thats good..but of coarse apple wouldnt like the idea of that.......

 

[Sevoma]

Mac ram is more expensive too. If I ever got one I would just buy some fast ram and upgrade to save some $$.

 

[Lasha]

why do macs cost so much?, is it the proprietory motherboards and cases, because they shouldnt be too expensive because pc ram, hdd, cdroms, can be used. also apple are adopting pc standards like DDr, SATA, AGP 8x, RAID, etc

LOL, Macs don't cost so much. Want proof? Here:
