An OS is only as good as its drivers so it can best make use of the hardware it’s running on. Plus, if you priced out a similarly spec’d Dell or HP computer I think the prices are pretty close. Building our own rig is obviously cheaper than both.

You missed my point, which is fine, because I will mention it explicitly:  
PC’s suck because of the OS, not because of the hardware - that’s why ubergeeks run Linux. So, take a “superior” computer, and then load a crappy OS on it, and what do you have? Right back to square one.
