| I'd like to note that you have to be careful with Dell because I've found that their form factors are different than standard PC hardware – they maintain some degree of propriety I guess. So, the motherboards won't necessarily fit into a standard tower, etc. if you ever decided to take your existing parts and port them over to your own custom build.

They're usually tested very well and support tends to be good, especially if you pay for Premium support. Building a system or having a workstation custom built tends to involve more problems and incompatibilities. I doubt many Mac users want to become PC sysadmins, so buying something pre-built with good support is probably a better option. PCs have enough quirks without sticking a bunch of compenents together that haven't been tested together. |
