Is your computer’s components equal in quality to Mac’s? Those numbers do not always tell the whole story. And even so it is somewhat unfair to compare a build it yourself to a Mac. Price out equally outfitted Dells or HPs to the Mac.

You miss the point entirely. With a PC I CAN build my own. I can customize it to be exactly as I want and as I can afford. Apple doesn't offer that capability unless you want to chance that you can build a "Hackintosh" and hope that you can kludge the OS into it and get it to work flawlessly.

As to the parts yes, as far as I am able, I buy high quality parts...just not overpriced parts...eg. 1TB SATA-II Western Digital (superior to the Hitachi's-IMHO-that Mac's use)hard drive - $100; Apple wants $300/drive for the same size.
