Tell me more about using a horrible Unix hack or a special-snowflake Linux distro.

Mac OS can't do 4-way SLI or Crossfire. Waste of GPU power. Not to mention those Xeon's wouldn't be enough to keep all of those GPU's fed, even if you used Windows. I know of only a handful of motherboards that can keep up with the IO demands along a full 4-way 16x PCI-e lane, let alone processors which can keep up with the demand.

i7's are amazing. Especially when you multitask a lot. Which I do. Real useful. Well worth it, too. It's going to be a while before they're out dated, it seems.
And yeah, you're right. I got a computer for 500 AUD a year or two ago, couldn't run a lot, really bad, when I could've gotten something double the power, for just about $500. And assembling your computer isn't hard at all, took me a few hours for mine, since it was the very first time I had assembled a computer. Definitely worth the money, though.

Built a new one late November:
i7 2700k
Asus P6Z68 Deluxe/Gen3 motherboard
Samsung F3 1TB HDD (it was cheap considering the highly inflated prices. When they finally drop again I'll upgrade, but for now this is fine)
Corsair HX 750 Professional 750 watt PSU
Cooler Master HAF X full tower
G.Skill Ripjaws X 8gb (2x4gb) DDR3 1600
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO heatsink
EVGA GTX 570 HD Video Card - 2560MB
Asus 24x DVD burner
Windows 7 Home Premium
I waited and waited and waited for the AMD bulldozers, and when they were finally released they were failures. They're not bad CPUs, they're just not good enough. This rig runs Battlefield 3 and Skyrim on max ultra settings no problem, and I even add ambient occlusion to Skyrim via Nvidia beta drivers. It's also future proof enough that I don't have to worry for a while. It's easy to overclock and runs cool. It's a Cadillac while my last computer was an old Ford Taurus.
