Um, professionals? (scientists, graphic designers, architects, analysts). Custom PCs are generally a poor choice in institutional contexts because of high TCO (crappy drivers and nonexistent long-term support).
That said, it seems weird that there hasn't been a reasonable way to have an OS X machine in a data center since the Xserves.
- detaro 9y agoHigh-end workstations from other manufacturers aren't "custom PCs" in any way, but still upgradable and serviceable. It's an interesting question if that is necessary or not, MacBooks don't come with really good support packages either and still are immensely popular with professional users. (It's certainly less important than it is with server systems)
