Just like always: If the PC fails, check for the problem 60cm in front of it.
It's usually the 3rd party progis that crash your PC(XP,Vista), as they are not available for macs - no crashes.


Viruses:
Now this is just a matter of time (or rather: market share).
Mackies will soon enjoy them in their full bloom too.


They look "nice" though. Not really my stile as I like white only for cars.
I'm more the industrial/military guy.
I actually thought about putting my HTPC in a used server rack(they're black, have handholds and look brutal, hooyah) - does anyone know if ATX boards and standard PSUs will fit in?


FlushMeister:
Your office looks so clean it's actually gay, lol.
No, seriously; I can't spot a single piece of paper or a pen.
What exactly do you do there?
I also recently read an article on tom hardware that interviewed several professional IT guys and the subject was Mac OS vs win7. They said mac was easier to get viruses because they lack the degree of updates that win gets. They said mac dont get viruses like win 7 and the like because its not worth the time for the programmers to write a virus for something that isnt in a worthwhile quantity (10% market share). Other reviews sites say theres not much difference between them. Games wise win7 usually wins hands down for performance.
