Expanding on this a bit, I find it odd that I'm a Mac guy willing to pay a hefty premium on hardware that'll do less for my purposes, but as soon as I get that tower everything else is cobbled together as cheaply as possible. Case in point: Firewire ATA controller mounted in a Power Mac 9500 case with a Power Mac 6100 PSU powering a crappy WD Raptor and a cheap DVD±RW, and the internal RAID that sits in the CPU bay of my G5 the cables of which bow out the side panel a bit.
