Q: Everyone is talking about how computer prices have come WAY down. Why should I spend the extra for all this? I'm not decoding the human genome or modeling weather after all!
A: People who invest in a top of the line computer have figured out that it costs less in the long run and is much more fun, productive, and less frustrating than getting sucked into the constant upgrade and repair cycle of buying cheap ones. A PC from Michael's Computers will last you at least twice as long, so it's like buying your next TWO computers. Not only that but you save the headache of wondering what to do in 3 years because your PC is giving you cryptic messages, acting like it's haunted, and not doing what you want it to. And of course it's so much FUN to have an incredibly fast, dazzling and rock solid stable PC.
So he's saying that his system will still be able to compete when we are all running at 5-6Ghz :D

Q: You mention the power supply above. Why do I care about the power supply? Power is power. Right?
A: You'd never know it by talking to Dell, Gateway or E-machines, but a high quality power supply makes a substantial difference. If the power supply can't deliver the correct amounts of power to the right components at the right moment, you could have the fastest processor and memory installed on the best motherboard money can buy, and still not be able to do anything really great with them. After all, it's the electrons running through everything that makes a computer compute. It's also where much of a computers noise comes from. Most computer companies don't want you to know this because the power supply is one of the major places where they skimp and save money! Michaels Computers uses Antec True Power units, these are among the most highly rated PC power supplies in the industry. They're also very quiet.
Huh, so my Tornado and a bunch of little case fans shouldn't be the cause of the noise then :p
