Are some Apple PCs priceworthy?

I have had no reason to reply prior to that post. I posted what I wanted in the OP and people have argued both sides since then. Why should I respond when it is a an argument about screen quality? I don't know a lot about screen quality, which is why I am not responding...
I have brand aversion towards apple, I won't buy one even it is proven priceworthy.
Minor point, Apple PCs tend to resale at higher than their PC peers prices. Makes up for a part of the disparity in costs.

Not some HAF 932 abomination with puke green CCFL.

The default keyboard and mice are terrible; who wants flat keys with virtually no tactile response or mouse with horrible tracking and uncomfortable?
Mind you can get a Lian Li A-05 for $80 instead of that horrible HAF case and it's very minimalistic and clean; your choice of black or silver.
I love it when people compare Macs to all the horrible ricer plastic cases that people tend to use when there's a wide variety of quality full aluminum cases for $80 and up.
fohfoh:
Seriously? iMac? Never.
MBP or MB? Maybe. I'd try one out. Well, yeah, I'd be paying a premium on aesthetics and stuff and I wouldn't do anything special with it other than stuff I probably use my smart phone with, but it's not a bad thing to have in a laptop. I'm usually just doing basic stuff anyways. Consider it a spiffier and pricier netbook with more props to an image factor.
I'll add I'd buy a used MB or MBP for like 300-500 bucks to toy around with. After learning about it, maybe dump it to an individual who actually has no idea how to use a computer. (ie: My mom)
A mac is a great computer to give to a computard if you're not close around enough to do comp fixes and whatnot. You don't have to deal with as much shit like random programs on a computer installed, updates with names that confuse the fuck out of people, etc.

Even though it's a chiclet scissor-switch keyboard it's still vastly better than the common mushy rubber dome crap. But of course it's not a Cherry or *gasp* Topre keyboard.
Or a Silverstone TJ-07. The funny thing is a lot of people seem to prefer ghastly cases and think clean-looking ones are boring and dull, go figure.
btw PC-A05 is a bit too cramped. A normal mid tower or a full tower is much easier to work with, more space to hide cables too.

Hey, I love my TJ-07 because I fit two triple 120mm radiators in the bottom and another dual 120mm on top if I wanted; I'm a watercooling freak.
Back to the A05: It may look small and for only $80 you can fit a ton in there; I recall someone managed to fit a 6990 in there, but they couldn't get a DVD drive in.
People managed to use the prebuilt holes for wire management pretty well:
