Just for argument's sake - in a P4 (2.54Ghz), it is VERY difficult to get up to $4,300. I spec'ed out what you just said, included a 17" flat screen, 80GB HD, etc, and I didn't come up with $4300. Much closer to $3500. That's in a precision (business-class line). I can't even get that close with a Dimension, which can still be a pretty high-end box. Like $2,750 for the Dimension. So...Not to get in a war of the specs with you, I just have not been able to realistically find Wintel not being cheaper.

I priced up a new high-end Wintel desktop for my wife. A Dell at $4,300 including software and peripherals. Our of curiosity, I priced up the same configuration on an iMac and it was $3,500. (17" flat screen, 1Gb RAM, 80Gb HD (I think), Zip Drive, MS Office, etc). $800 is a big saving...
