I know mate its horrible id never own an alienware. But my point is if you fish around you will find better value for money. Instead of the approach i see EVERYONE doing
'Oh its apple it MUST be the best'

What if you need to run Final Cut or Logic (legitimately)?
Granted the components themselves don't warrant the price, as you say you can purchase a similar spec if not better for cheaper, but you're purchasing the whole package when getting an Apple; so the design, OS, after-care etc.
If they were still PPC based i'd purchase one in a heart beat as there was noticeable differences in speed between a PC/CISC based system.

'If you know nothing about them, then why do you have such a strong opinion against them'
So i do have experience with them?

So you dislike Apple because many people like Apple?
Fair enough that you don't feel like the products Apple manufacture are suited for your needs. But don't be so narrow minded as to think, that they don't suit the needs of anyone at all.

 What's the spec?
Use to have a quicksilver 800MHz, was like shit off a shovel (was part of a Protools rig, used to be able to run always twice the amount of plugins compared to my PC) compared to my 1.2GHz Athlon. They should have stayed with PPC

YOU are talking about spec., because you fail to see that other factors are important.

I think it's got a 1GHz single CPU, 80GB HDD, can't remember what RAM it's got probably 512Mb or 1GB - haven't fired it up in a while - oh and I installed Leopard on it too.
I was considering running it as an FTP server, that or a spare box with an XP COA on it (using XP or Linux), haven't quite decided yet.
