It is very simply available. It's called a hackintosh. 10s of thousands of people are building them and at least 1 very successful company is doing just that. Mid range towers with exactly what I needed, the ability to configure a Mac exactly as I needed it, somewhat more powerful/faster than an iMac but what I wanted and at $300 or more less after keyboard, mouse and reasonable monitor (comparing a decked out 20" machine). The point is, not that I saved $ over the iMac, I could have added an even better monitor and had only saved a pittance, but rather I now have what I needed in it and did save more than $1000 over a Mac Pro
