So, now you need to improve your reading ability and learn how to figure out that PC does not stand for "computer" it stands for "personal computer".

Also, the difference between apple and dell is that with apple you have your "mac tax". Why should you be paying much more to get something of at best equal quality to a dell?

oh wait, whats this... im hosting a website on my rig atm...

oh no. im streaming my music to from my moms house on my backup rig.

both are PC's. but guess what. they are serving the data to me.

anything can be a server.

all it has to do is server data to another source.

oh snap. im a server for giving you correct info on a forum.

Obviously I used too big of words for you. Der der, herp herp, der herp der herp. Did that help?

On a more serious note... I will repeat myself.

YOU. As in you, ya know, yourself. Your own being. Said..

"More airflow > less space"..

I said.. "Inferior design? Have you seen servers? By your standards, its an inferior design."

THIS is in reference to the "poor airflow" in both. Rather, I will clarify.. Blade servers are an EXTREMELY tight fit. What I mean by that, is there is not much room in them. The same is true with a iMac. There is not a whole lot of room in them, therefore of course airflow is limited..

Do you understand now? I was saying that your logic "airflow > less space" isn't necessarily true.

Also, when you take 4 years of computer classes (A+, NOS, CCNA) in 2 years, you can tell me that I dont know the definition of "PC". You see, PC stands for Personal Computer. You know what a Personal Computer is fundamentally? A computer. Do you know what a server is fundamentally? A computer.

Besides which, I never said "PC = computer". I said "Servers and PC's are computers". Which is true.

nice mouse, i would totally use that for my desktop, really nice of apple to lose the wires in their desktop, what wouldve made it cooler if their power source was wireless too! a desktop without wires is like clutter free!

This is getting ridiculous, he was clearly talking about PCs when he stated that "more airflow > less space". Trying to make the discussion about servers is a complete straw man. A triangle is a shape, so is a square, that doesn't mean triangles and squares serve the same purpose, have the same requirements, or in any way should be treated similarly.

Both are computers. Airflow is important to both. In fact, its MORE important in a server, yet Blade Servers sacrifice airflow for space. Same with iMac's.

Now included with every iMac: the iStove!

Seriously, stop comparing apples to oranges. Arguing that the challenges that face personal computing are the same as those of server operation is kind of silly. Yes, both sides have to deal with heat, but the kind of legitimate solutions you have for one just don't work for the other.

However, if you want to stick with the comparison between PCs and computers let's do it. Blade Server, despite focusing on reducing power use (which they do well), get hotter and require more work to cool then more traditional and spread out servers. Macs in general, and other small computer/laptops as well have to deal with increased heat per unit volume. However, unlike is the case with servers small computers don't have room or access to elaborate cooling systems that often can only fit in a larger computer so the end result is that they run hotter. Computer running hotter limits OCs, speed the degradation of parts, and often leads to crashes and decreased reliability.

i have to say that this mac set up, looks pretty sweet. sleek, clean, and a powerful computer.

i like the mouse, reminds me of the razer mice, which i love far better than my new mx518.. /offtopic

kudos for apple here

I don't want to get into this argument but I think you are forgetting the massively loud fans servers use which push insane CFM for their size. iMac's are as quiet as a laptop. The fans make up for the lack of space.

To all the morons (you know who you are)..

Build a computer thats an ALL in One. Whats that? Cant do it?

Or do you just not want to build one? If thats the case, shut up and stop comparing your tower to a COMPLETELY different form factor and build quality.

You could build an all in one yourself if you had half a brain...
Hell, even if you didn't they sell all in one cases where you just snap it on the back of a screen.
