If you get an Intel Mac, you can run anything including MacOS that has been ported to the x86 platform.

With a generic PeeCee you assemble yourself, you can run anything except MacOS.

It takes an afternoon to build a box from parts. Use a Zalman CPU fan (quiet!) and build it to YOUR personal tastes. Tell Dell to get stuffed.

What do you do if parts fail, or you have problems? I know Dells are expensive compareably to other pc's or if you build one yourself, but for most layman, myself included, a Dell or HP are the realistic choices.

If you work it out ahead of time as to what you're putting together, you shouldn't have problems. If you just go down to Fry's and buy a bunch of random stuff, you will have problems, just like buying some random part and throwing it into a car will give you problems.

But, if you do, swap out the part. I've taken many parts back to Fry's without problem in the past. The parts themselves also have a warranty on them and you can call the manufacturer and get an RMA number - they then ship you out a replacement.

In terms of assembly, I've taught senior citizens how to build a PC before. They freak out at dropping the CPU into the socket, but once they've done it, they wonder why they were scared in the first place.

About the only time you'll have problems with parts is if you're using old Sun or Cisco gear -- or you've tried to rebuild an old Sequent box.....I've NEVER had a PC I've assembled from parts fry on me and I get the box I want. Its also a lot easier to quietize a machine if you build it yourself. Buy Zalman fans and a Sonata case and you'll never blow yourself out of the room with noise.
