Custom-built PC > Mac > prebuilt PCs > Overclocked PCs.

In general that might be true, but personally IMO, if all that matters is sturdiness then pre-built branded PC > Everything else. I have a Dell Optiplex GX1 from 1997 [Pentium III 525MHz, 256MB RAM (was originally 128), ATI Rage AGP 2x card]. Every single component of it runs perfectly to this day (save the 10GB WD HD which broke down a few months ago).

In terms of price/value/stability. And before anyone says you've got a 4GHz quad sitting on that desk, tell me if it's still surviving... 5 years from now.

Not to mention the price of good cooling systems.

Hey Phil, how much does your water kit cost again?

I think only 5% of the computer using population can put together a good combo of components which are compatible with each other and more cost-effective then a pre-built machine.
