Build a Cheaper, Customizable Alternative to Apple's Mac Pro

I really don't see the point of this, beside wasting a considerable amount of time and being able to boast about it. If you build such a machine you'd better go with Linux or Windows; the real advantage of OS X is in the tight integration between hardware and software.
