So… we have 2 essentially identical computers here (the fx 580 is the quadro equivalent of the gt 120; sorry I couldnt get the drives to match exactly but they are pretty darn close)… and you pay an extra almost $800 for the mac… sounds like a great deal to me… Oh and lets not forget the dell comes with a 3 year warranty while the mac has a 1 year.
Choose whatever one you want but im not gonna pay an extra $784 to get a better looking case and osx (because let’s be honest, I would have to put windows on it anyways…)
