The prices usually the same, but the processing gets better. Its the same 
thing with hard disks, CDRs, etc. The prices are essentially constant

cost. Entry Mac towers are always about $1600.

If you go to all of the trouble to custom build a PC like you did, are 
you really saving money and trouble? Sounds like a lot more trouble in 
research, compatibility issues, quality issues, component buying, 
construction, etc.
