My 800D case is much sexier than any Mac.

 

You know you still have to buy the parts to put into the case, right?

They are in there   Good luck concealing your cables in an inferior case.

I understand getting what you pay for and all that, but I've never actually seen a case (at least in person) that cost more than about $150. Can you post a pic of your case so everyone can judge whether it actually looks sexier than a Mac?

800D does not mean $800. It's a model number.

Oh, sorry Hemmy. I was confused.

heh, the thing still costs $275- which, according to hemmy, will buy you the best non-apple tablet on the market.

Apples iOS4 has completely fracked our exchange servers.  Apple could care less.  shazbot! EM.

what's happening w/this?  our resident tool hasn't bought his new iphone yet.  *did some reading* is it overtaxing resources?

Apple has the best looking, worst ergonomical products on the market. PC cases won't look nearly as good because they're open systems. They have to allow for more cooling, more slots, more ports, etc. That stuff is ugly. I just want a brushed aluminum box. I'm trying to design my living room and tv to where all my components are hidden and you just see the tv.

ya, Lian Li make nice cases

[hemmy]

The interior of most Lian Li's kill their appeal for me, as most of them suck.

No, Apple computers are ugly.  Only smug jackasses who use their Macbooks in starbucks like the way they look.

The only thing I wish was different about the Corsair 800D was that it was made of Aluminum, not steel.  Not that I ever move my computer.

making excessive RPC requests, not tearing down the connection when disconnecting.  Takes about a day or two to our mail server to its knees. Reboot, and it's fixed for another day or two.

i'm still LOLing at a 800D case.  what a complete piece of trash.

You're really just wrong about this. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but there is pretty much a consensus that people like Apple's industrial design.

Aside from aesthetics, their engineering is often times hit and miss (as we might be seeing with the iPhone). That said, I've been in and out of and built and torn-down hundreds of computers over the last 12 years. I can't say I've never seen one, on the whole, more impressively designed and engineered than the new Mac Pro:

It's an opinion, but sorry, yours is wrong. Saying a case with a window, any case with a window, is better than all brushed aluminum is insane. The 90's are gone, man. Let them die. The fact Alienware still makes stupid looking crap is a testament that that is still popular, though.

hemmy, have you picked out your neon case light and fans yet?

I don't own anything apple but their stuff is the sexy.  THE SEXY

This. Too bad it's mostly poorly engineered or has a complete lack of thought for function and ergonomics.

this is just stupid.
the only thing that i can think of that was poorly designed ergonomically was their first couple of mice.  the new super mouse is incred well designed. 

regarding functional engineeing, LOL at trying to talk smack on that mac pro superg pointed to.  or my imac for that matter.

I really can't tell much difference in appearance between Apple products and other products on the market.  I wouldn't describe any as sexy.  Overall, I think Apple products are about as hip as Starbucks and The Cheesecake Factory.  But my bigger concern is judging people for buying a phone on the basis that it's hip.

You're such a goddam hick.   Why don't you go on a "stars don't matter" rant next?

Jesus.

So, Apple's reputation for quality has taken a hit due to the iPhone 4 design flaw.  Should this reputation take a bigger hit if they knew about the problem beforehand and decided to release a faulty product anyway?  Supposedly:

When Jobs introduced the phone, he also introduced the bumper. 
Apple didn't have a bumper for previous iPhones. 
Jobs' inital reaction was to tell a complaining customer to hold the phone a diiferent way.
Apple's latest official position is that there is not a hardware problem.

Is the timing of the bumper just a coincidence?  How did Jobs seem to know exactly what advice to give so quickly?

jobs didn't introduce the bumper w/ the phone.  
i honestly can't figure out how the new antenae problems slipped through their QA but it did.  

regardless, to answer your question- no. the reputation you're referring to is engineering quality and that quality is the same independent of when they became aware of it.  freaking hick.

Good luck mounting a 3x120mm radiator in your Apple case
