Since there is a lot of questions about PC cooling, I figured I would compile some information on PC cooling.

CPU Cooling:
- CPU Heat Sink Information
- Thermal Compound
- CPU Temperatures


Fans:
- Fan Information
- Fan Connectors


Case Cooling:
- Case Cooling
- Case Cooling Tips


Hard Drives:
Hard Drive Cooling


Temperature Controls:
- Homemade Temp Control


Case Positive & Negative Pressure:
- Positive & Negative Pressure Video


This information should get you a start.

Depends, some people find it easy and some hard. Either way it will take time to get used to it... Question is why switch? Viruses? Security? Peer pressure? Looks?

PC=Variety of specs, options, quality, prices, vendors, support
Mac=One vendor, limited options, still more expensive. Look below for more information..

Contrary to belief, Macs are not better quality. Apple also has been changing suppliers to try to "lower the price" and thus lowering quality. Even with the lower prices, Macs still cost more, they spend a higher percent of budget trying to make it look pretty, and marketing.
