I'd certainly never buy an iMac for that very reason. The ability to swap the drive myself (which is often the first part to break) is crucial. The drives bought from Apple are extremely expensive compared to OEM models.
Now that there are rumours of Apple discontinuing the MacPro, it'll leave me in a bit of a fix. Yes you can do pretty much everything with thunderbolt but the peripherals are all in development currently so not much good to me now! I'd much rather a nice neat tidy box with two video cards, two eSATA cards, 4x2TB hard drives than an iMac with external boxes to house each PCI card, cables all over the place and a distinctly not colour-accurate screen.
