Apple Or Pc Which One Do You Own? (computer)

I have never even operated a Mac but I've never heard a bad word about them and would love to switch. Problem is money. My PC just crashed big time 2 weeks ago and at the moment I'm using a borrowed puter while my buddy builds me a new one. I wish I would have had the money for a Mac but $175 for a pretty darn fast PC with good quality components was sure allot more palatable than $1000+ for a Mac.
