It would be about the same purchase price ($944 for the mac, appx $1040
for a top-of-the-line VIA mini-ITX system*). Don't forget the $150/year
or so to keep your OS current on the Mac ...

*: which would be:
Board		VIA SP13000
Case		Casetronic C138 90W
512M Memory	Kingston 512M
80GB drive	Toshiba 80GB 5400rpm (notebook-sized)
DVD+-RW		Panasonic UJ-845-B,
prices from <http://koonline-inc.com/> -- it could probably be done
cheaper, and the slow notebook drive would be an expensive pain,
especially when the SP13000 has SATA.
