mac hardware may have become cheaper in recent years, but for the longest time, making your own PC with windows was much cheaper, and I only know windows.
When it comes down to it, I don't know shit about Mac, I don't even know if you can make a Mac from scratch, you probably can't, and when you try to, the Mac OS is probably at a loss for finding appropriate drivers for your hardware and the like. Just guesswork but from my personal experience with Macs, it sounds about right.

again, if you'd built your machine using the same components as an apple it would have cost around the same amount. their stuff is a much higher grade than the $350 barebones kits they sell on tigerdirect. for an example look at the price difference between a western digital 'green' vs 'black' hard drive or hynix vs crucial RAM.

you can, but it's like linux 8 years ago where you have to check everything against an HCL and still struggle with drivers and worry about the next update breaking the whole damn thing. not worth it. ubuntu is easier than osx on non-apple hardware.
