The new iMac - Running Windows?

After I saw the new iMac Apple had released in Paris, I got to thinking about building a PC that looked the same, costs less and performed better. The new design of the G5 iMac is very nice but as I, personally, hate the OS of Macs, I researched how much parts would cost to build the same thing, but had no Apple hardware in it. I found out that the hardware (not including the screen) would cost around £360. Seeing as I do not have that money to spend on sweets I just gave up the idea. But, it's stuck with me. I'd love a PC that looked like that. All the crap and that in the monitor itself is great. The hardware I took into account was this:

Motherboard
P4 Processor
Hard Drive
SDRAM
CD-RW
Graphics Card

Sorry, If I've forgotten anything. Though, I forgot what the hardware was. Anyway, I believe it's possible to make this PC great. My estimate for the casing is around £150 - £250 or maybe I could find some scrap and shape it for about £10. And you could use any keyboard and mouse.

I'd love to make this, and sell it if possible. Just an idea and maybe a reality.

Sorry

Hi - as you can see, I've just remembered my account details so from now on, I'll be posting every day and sometimes every other day. So - what's been going on since June? Well, pretty much everything in my life. Lets start off at the beginning of the summer holidays (as I cant remember much before that ;)).

OK. So, at the start of the holidays I went to the south-coast of England to a nice little spot on a cliff called Westward Ho! (yes, the exclamation mark is in the name). I stayed there for 9 days and felt good to get back to a computer. The first day I was back I was offered the opportunity to create a website for a money-making scheme in America. Alas, the person in charge has not got back to me so that's gone down the drain.

So, I decided I needed something to take up my lonely time. What a better way than learning C, I thought. So, I bought a book, read some of it, put it away and watched TV. I find TV has a bit more colour. But I'm liking it anyway, so I thought I'd share a bit of code I made. Nothing special and nothing advanced. This is one of my 23 programs:

---------------------------------------------------
#include

int val1, val2, val3;

int product(int x, int y);

int main( void )
{
/*get first number*/
printf("Enter a number between 1 and 1,500,000: ");
scanf("%d", &val1);

/*get second number*/
printf("Enter another number between 1 and 1,500,000: ");
scanf("%d", &val2);

/*calculate and display product*/
val3 = product(val1, val2);
printf("%d times %d = %d\n", val1, val2, val3);

system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

/*function returns product of values*/
int product(int x, int y)
{
return (x * y);
}
---------------------------------------------------

So far I've gone through arrays, for, if and do...while loops which is becoming more and more natural as each day passes. My plans, as far as computer languages go is to learn C, then Visual Basic .NET, and then C++. From then, who knows. Maybe a bit of Java or Python.

Anyways, last night I finished two website templates for a friend and his new programming project called 'Klat'. You can visit the project's website here: http://klat.sf.net . Also, over the summer holidays, my friend started his own web programming company called 'SPARC one' and he kindly let me join and become Head Programmer. You can visit my department's website here: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/carl.mundy/v1 and the main website here: http://clix.to/sparc . Well, apart from my 6 page essay on Townies (which will be available for download soon in .pdf format) that's about it.
