You know a Mac can do all of the things you listed...some people have different computers than other people for different reasons. I don't get why this PC v.s. Mac thing is still going on.

Anyway I have both a Mac and a PC and I use it for all of the above.

The topic is "what's inside your PC?". Macs aren't PCs, they're Macs. And the customizing on them is horrendously limited. And they rarely come with any kind of gaming capabilities as far as graphic horsepower goes, but on top of that, the game selection that's compatible is quite limited and mostly you can only be a gamer on a Mac with Bootcamp which is kind of a whole nother can of worms.

Regardless, this wasn't even a PC vs Mac thread. You need to get your head out of... the sand.

Inside my PC is a piece of felt. I lost a screw to the fan and it started to vibrate against the case to make a really annoying sound. The felt muffles it. Take that all of you and your fancy computers!

Get my head out of ... the sand? Haha

Wow. Ok ignoring your improper use of an ellipses I guess I will respond.

I know the title of the thread, I was just saying there was no need for the "I have a Mac" section of the poll.

Yes I know you will argue "what do you mean? It's for people with mac! Get your head out of... the sand"

But I am simply saying that selection was added with a purpose of starting trouble.

Done this all before enough times, so...

Home: Pentium-M 740, 1Gb DDR-533 dual channel (to be maxed to 2Gb if I can be bothered), i915 chipset including graphics, 120Gb 5400rpm ATA133 disk blah blah blah. Internets and media, was bought for work purposes but I happily ditched having to do lots of MS Office grinding for my wage about a year after buying it.

Work: Core2Duo T8100, apparently running in single core (and generally crippled and shitty) mode because of that wonderful thing MS built into their OS that means the ACPI computer type the image is built with, is the one you're permanently saddled with, as it's integrated into the very kernel. Our image was built on a single core and I suspect non-ACPI PC...
Also 3Gb RAM (useful on a resource-sucking domain-based network) and some kind of Intel GMA thing that doesn't seem significantly more beefy than my old i915...
Used for work and internets. And again digital media hacking-around, but for more productive reasons and from different sources.

Windows 7
Intel I7 860 overclocked to 3.0ghz

[Pielikey]

there's a creeper next to my computer and it's sole purpose is to protect it from being stolen.

Also
I have an ATI 4850 HD Graphics card (Which I hope to replace with an NVidia because this thing has been giving me shit since Day one)
A Phenom II X2 3.1 Ghz Processor-Black Edition
A very pathetic 2 GB of DDR3 RAM
a motherboard. (I don't remember! ASUS r34t45eyrghbtre5tr4f3ewqgf-X-TREMEEEE or something like that)
A 750 Watt Power Supply
Peice-of-Shit Motherboard Network Card
a 23" 16:9 Monitor (HANNS-G or something like that)
Lol-gitech G11 keyboard
Rage-tastic Logitech G35
And a Logitech G9 Mouse.

EDIT: And it's a gaming rig. That's pretty much all it does. But it can run Microsoft Word like nobody's business.

1.5 gigs of mixed Infineon and Patriot DDR400

A bunch of cheap or scavenged fans from 40 mm to 100 mm
