Mac's: Expencive hardware with an UNIX-like OS that comes with a nice GUI.

PC's: Cheap (if you build it yourself) hardware with an UNIX-like OS called Linux (when you buy one of HP's Linux machines, or build it yourself).

Refalm this is indeed a cool case, but it is custom, it doesnt come that way from the manufacturer. Personally the best looking PC from any manufacturer in my opinion is Alienware Area 51.

Even the Alienware laptops look great, although I admit that the Powerbooks(not iBooks) look awesome too.

Second would be the new little cube computers from shuttle.

These things are awesome looking and small. Third place goes to the G5.

no way do those cases look better than the g4, or g5 case. One thing that most people fail to do when designing anything, especially in manufacturing, is to keep it simple. Form and function you know. That is why, in my opinion, apple is years beyond anyone in computer design (the look) and why everyone copies apple at some point. The understand design.

Not only that, look at the internal layout of the G5:



And no way do those gaudy plastic boxes look as nice as this:



LOL! PC people make me laugh.

Their like folks who put those spaceship lights underneath their shitty civic hatchback and load a gigantic woofer in the back, then drive the hunk of junk around like it's hot shit.

News flash! Just because it's loud, garish and obnoxious dosn't mean it's good looking.
Psyjax! I RULEZZZZ!!! HAR HAR HAR

Indead, we call those folks 'ricers' and I wish I could apply that to PCs because there is alot of PC modders who think they are some dank shit when they just put neons in there. God, I'm so elitest.

I like beige myself.  Plain colors like grays and blacks.  IBM thinkpads are really nice looking, despite being kinda plain.  It's whats inside that matters to me.  I have a tower computer I built myself that's just a black case.  No mods or anything.

A agree those "hotrod" PCs are atrocious.
