Buy a new … MAC?

My PC has problems. It started life as a souped up Linux machine. I traded a nice Dell tower for it and expected to have the fastest PC on the block. The only problem is that it doesn’t appear to like Windows. It was hanging so I had it completely stripped and reloaded. Now it just reboots on its own, several times in an afternoon, with no warning. It does come back up really fast so I guess that’s an improvement. As I was lamenting this, it became apparent that I need a new home PC (I don’t use my work laptop for personal use.) As I started to consider my options, what was the first thing that came to mind? Why not check out the MAC Mini? It looks cool. It doesn’t take a lot of space. I have an LCD so I don’t need a new monitor. I have external USB hard drives and don’t really need to cram a lot of extra cards into the big tower I usually have. So I looked into it and then I remembered why I never buy Apple. Cool stuff, high price. I made the mistake of looking at what a new Dell will cost. I can still get way more machine for way less money than the MAC. Too bad the hardware and technology is so cool.
