i'm sure this is being asked in a lot of heads right now. but with the newest mac os running on intel core 2 duo, could i have a computer built for me that has a core 2 duo processor and the right "parts" (obvious why i'm having it built FOR me)... buy MAC OS 10.4.whatev and kick some ass? i love my little G4 iBook, but i need some more power! and it's kinda tough to afford a new big-boy apple right now (for me). any takers on this?
while i'm on this subject, why is it uncommon to see people build their own mac-based computers? in fact i've NEVER seen one. please only reply if you know what you're talking about |

 Watch closely, the refurbs are not always interesting, but there are real bargains in the higher end of the macs Apple makes sometimes. I've already looked closely the site we all not quote plainly, and even me who is a plain mac geek, I feel it's a waste of time and headaches for something that may work (and do so perfectly sometimes yes), as I like macs on the premise they work out of the box and most of the time don't waste your time stupidly, it's not the right way to go (outside of the legal issues) it's juts not the mac way. Now if it can make some people switch, it's cool

What's the URL for refurbished Macs at Apple? And how can you tell if an eBay Mac is going to be reliable. I'm using a G4 800 right now. Thanks for any advice.
