    Apple

    Look at it this way - a FireWire iMac is $1000, right? Take off the monitor, which represents probably $150 of the retail cost. (Apple's cost - $40 or so). That's $850. Put it in a tower case and add 3 PCI slots (net cost - $25, or even close to zero if you use a cheap case. Even allowing $50 for a nice case, that's $900 for a G3 in a tower case with PCI slots.

    The cheapest G4 tower is $1699. Is the G4 worth $800 more than our hypothetical G3 tower? I don't think so, especially if the CPU is upgradeable in our cheap machine. That's the problem, the numbers on the G4 towers don't add up.

    If I buy a Dell, every step up in CPU speed is roughly $200, a bit more for the really top end. With Apple, the same 1 or 2 steps in CPU speed is a $1500 increase. That's the price of a whole second machine!

    Based on these calculations, it's obvious that Apple could profitably a fast G3 tower at $900 and make a tidy profit, maybe more than on the iMac. They owe it to their shareholders and loyal mac users to pursue this opportunity.

    To the "Look at it this way" poster...

    Why don't you take your brilliant plan for winning win the underlying love of 13-year-old geeks and buy a bunch of run-out iMacs, strip the guts out of them, put them in a $50 PC tower case, and go into business selling them to aforemention 13-year-olds.

    Better still, shove the plan up your a**.
