Apologies to anyone I've forgotten! You should already have accounts with some at least of these. Don't forget that most hardware components that you would use with a Mac are exactly the same as for a PC - eg Hard Drives, Optical Drives, Input Devices, displays, all networking kit etc. In some cases Apple do provide their own products (displays, keyboards, mice) but you don't have to use or supply them to your customers. The other thing to remember is that MacOS X is extremely standards compliant, so when thinking of things like networking, which is pretty much all TCP/IP nowadays, there is no difference between a Mac, a PC or a Linux box in terms of the hardware they will need - it's just that the Mac is much easier to set up and much more stable.
