(This has nothing to do with the software side of things) I don't have much experience with Apple products outside of owning an iPhone a few years back, but for me owning a computer that I can't customise and tinker with sounds boring and restrictive. I love putting time into pin pointing the performance bottlenecks on my machine, then researching the best hardware solutions and implementing it, as well as building something that wows a few people is also cool. The incremental process allows one to improve their machine without massive (well, most the time) capital outlays and you end up building something that you love, you created and that can be phenomenally fast and customised to your specific needs (and a pleasure to look at, the more LEDs the better right?). Anyway, I realise this might be quite specific to me and the other "enthusiasts", and I am sure a lot of people just glance at tempered glass PCs with water cooling and think "I could never do that", or "I couldn't be bothered to put so much effort into that, I need something that just works.". Once you start, it becomes apparent how simple and modular it all is. I am not sure where I am going with this, but Owen Williams built a awesome computer so thought I would comment.
