Since the insides of an Apple machine are mostly COTS stuff anyway, and run Windows really, really well in most press reports, it would seem logical that Dell or some other player would wrap a case around those parts and let it loose in the world. I suppose the problem is that because Apple uses pretty good hardware, it would not necessarily be a cheap computer.
The Macintosh does use premium quality components, which plays a significant role in their cost. Videophiles will testify that even running the same video cards, the output from the Mac just looks better on screen than other consumer level computers, most likely the result of higher quality components throughout.
