If you like something for the "cool neat geek" factor but don't want to 
put it together yourself, there you go.

Then again, you may also be potentially on a list of customers you don't 
want to be on if they go to court and Apple decides to play RIAA.

It's not a Mac, though, since the Mac is more than just the operating 
system.  Updates won't work.  Future support is going to be iffy. 
Future OS's probably won't work at all.  I doubt the hardware is using 
an EFI and that means it's running with a PC's BIOS. 
Integration/hardware support for other Mac-supported things will be iffy.

You'd be a fool to get it as your primary work machine if you want the 
Mac, in my opinion.  You're better off tinkering with doing it yourself 
as a project than buying it.
