Didn't used to be closed. Used to be you could put cards in, swap hard drives, up memory, etc. There were fewer choices but there weren't none. That is no longer the case, and it burns.

There was a good one for a while after the switch to Intel. Mac Pros used nVidia and ATI video cards. There were PCIe soundcards you could throw in there. But yeah. There was about a 6 year period where you could legitimately run Mac hardware as if it were PC hardware, and that era is done.
