lol you're nuts, that's no different from buying a nextday PC with a decent spec off the shelf from many webshops. The only difference being you have a choice on who to use and what price to pay as there are so many decent PC webshops out there these days, rather than just Apple and their EXTORTIONATE cost.

or we can buy parts for even cheaper and assemble them ourselves.

Imagine that, god forbid we could actually repair our own things rather than pay some huge sum to have it done,,,,,,,, lol

I use it to edit 4K video full scale and watch my bitcoin price in the spare space, that’s a lot of spare space.

Silent too, I hear you need to install a pond in a PC to make it quiet.

Oh yea like water cooling solutions instead of fans and a bit of foam hasn't been used in a mainstream PC before. Corsair will be knocking on your door.

They either make a lot of noise, blow hard enough to dry your hair or are a flood risk, I’ve owned them all. Still own a PC laptop, it’s **** at anything other than working in the rain, a bit like some android phones.

Flood risk lol, rubbish the liquid cooled cpu solutions these days are sealed units and need no maintenance.

Anyway air coolers can be pretty much silent too, if you get a decent £50-60 effort. Even the arctic cooler thing i have on one of my old rigs is pretty much silent even under load and that's ancient. They don't need to have a high rpm if they have heat pipes along with a decent heatsink.

Not in engineering they dont.

but the fact that you openly admit you can fleace more money out of folks for apple kinda says it all. Your just hacking the thing that can make you the most money.
