I'm a PC guy, but this is very true. Most mainstream PC manufacturers use very cheap components in their computers. The motherboards in the new Dell's, even many of their XPS and Alienware setups, are equivilant in specs and options to $30-$40 motherboards on Newegg (and on Newegg you're paying retail). Some parts are getting better; they're starting to use better RAM and Hard Drives, but overall, their PC's are still weak sauce compared to custom setups where you'd pay more for name brand parts.
