I've tried running linux on quite a number of platforms (HP, Compaq, IBM etc etc) and i have to say, nothing beats DIY. Grab a decent motherboard (Aopen, ABIT, etc etc), chuck in a decent video card, lotsa nice memory, tweak the BIOS (frequencies, voltages, timings, you *can* with a proper motherboard) and you'll have an computer that is *several* times faster.
