It has been a while since Apple moved to Intel CPU's and it is not long until Leopard is released. If you were buying a new system today would you give serious consideration to an Apple system?

Nothing beats building your own rig.......then rebuilding it because you screwed up........then rebuilding it again...........before finally getting it running perfect and stripping it down to fit the latest and greatest upgrade ad nauseum .

Building my own gets my vote.

Same, also "highly" might be exaggerating it.

If I didnt have to worry about budget I might... but thats because it would be an addition to a non-mac pc .. So I answered 'build my own'.

I had to vote for 'build my own'.
if budget weren't a consideration however , I'd have both for sure
macs are too expensive, and I personally wouldn't run only a mac, got to run a regular pc alongside, which makes it financialy impossible

The best of both worlds:

I build my own. My wife is a graphic designer, so we always have a Mac in the house.

I would have my desktop custom built for me from a reputable vender, lots of folks in business now that can offer a system with what I want in it. Or I will buy an Apple.
Notebook, seriously considering an Apple, they are attractive and frankly I just dont waste my time gaming all day, I have a woman, a job, and a life so something that helps me get my work done and allows me to do internet is just fine.
I am not a tech whore per se, cant afford it really nor do I have the time to monkey with new stuff.
