Teabag, I'm not going to reply to every single sentence, just the general feeling: You have an awful lot of "careful", "well planned", "advanced", "well maintained" and similar words in your post.
Fact of the matter is: to get a PC to be even close to as good as a Mac as far usability or hardware design are concerned, you have to spend an awful amount of time and work. Why would you need to modify airflow in a Mac Pro? It's better optimized than in 99% of the PCs, including gaming PCs, you'll ever find. If you have the one percent that has better airflow, more power to you. But that you have the time, skill and interest to pull this off makes you part of a very, very small minority. And don't get me started on money. If you put a monetary value on all the work you put in the computer, then a Mac might well be cheaper, depending on how much you charge yourself per hour of work. Thanks to my laziness, my number for that is so high that a Mac makes sense for me. If it isn't for you, no problem. I just have a feeling that there are more people on my side than on yours, they just don't know it yet.
In a way, it's like those people saying Linux is better than Mac OS X because you can replace the window manager. Sure, you can do that, and if your life really depends on that ability, then by all means go ahead and buy some random PC and rebuild it to moon-lander specs instead of fucking up a good Mac. However, most people see things differently, and many of them would be happier with a Mac if they only gave it a fair try.
Last but not least: You say your PC looks better than a Mac. I cannot reply to that without insulting you, which I really don't want, so I won't. I just mention it to give you a hint of my feelings on this matter.
