At times like this...i.e. recession, companies with HiTec equipment need to be able to sell a shed load of kit to make it viable, if that doesn't seem likely they will keep adapting and tweeking until better times.

I've had this a few times, but once a year, I reset the whole system back to the original state, reload windows etc, feels like a new PC then and the front USB's come back to life, surprising how much clutter it clears off. |

There should be no good reason for this, the difference between the back and fronts are, rear USB's are a direct extension of the board and front ones are connected to a header by cable.

Build your own, I did, loads of fun and very satisfying, I now have exactly what I wanted spec wise and it fits were I want it to fit. Went for a shuttle type design but a little larger than the ones off the shelf, extra hard drives etc for my photos. Motherboard spec was biased towards media, HDMI graphics etc, I recently had a 5GB graphics card to play with, bloody hell that was quick at loading all my pics sadly work wanted it back |

Really thinking of replacing my old pc with an iMac. Had a play with one today and was well impressed. My only concern is longevity. I expect any computer I own to last at least 8 years as my current one has. Anyone run a mac for that long? Has it been good? Would you ever go back to a pc? |

Just look on eBay at prices of old Apple computers. Don't bother looking for values of old PCs - they haven't got any! Apple computers last well. |

They say "get a Mac and never go back"....very true in my case. I got an iMac about 18 months ago and love it. My laptop is a Windows machine and on the odd occasions I use it I find myself shouting at it 'cos it is so slow and clunky!

Mojo - dump the PC and get a Mac - it will be the best thing you ever did.
