I just dug my old G3 iMac out the shed, and began to understand part of why Macs are more expensive than PCs. (discounting the fact they are just overpriced anyway )
Opening it up you can see everything has had to be designed soley to make this computer work. Even the molex on the hard drive had to be plugged into a 3 pin slot on the logic board instead of leading to a power supply.
The level of customisation was actually ridiculous, whereas now they all use intel CPUs and are much more standard. It was from 1999, and it was the first of the iMacs and I found it very innovative and more interesting than looking inside my other PCs
