Once you get to my level of experience, Macs are usually out of the question. Macs are for people who don't know how to work under the hood. I basically do everything in my PC except for mill the waterblock myself - I replace capacitors, I do all hardware changes and many mods such as voltage mods, I've even built my own temp sensor to interface the SMBus header and communicate to MBM5, etc. Can't do that on a mac unless you go unix. That's fine, I run freeBSD here at home, but any proprietary hardware gets in the way.
Oh and I game. So that knocks out the mac OS. Not sure how well windows would run on a given mac platform even if it is intel, but I suspect they still don't mesh.
