Nice try.
Many printers require additional drivers under OSX as well. Some HP lasers as well as Dell lasers and others come to mind.
Registry doesnt need cleaning but if you want to go to there, then have fun with repairing permissions and trashing preferences frequently.
Vista has defragmentation which will run at low priority without impacting performance but unlike OSX, at least it comes with one without having to pay for it (if you so choose to manually run it). Seeing that the built in OSX automatic defragmentation doesnt do files > 20MB, I wouldnt call it quite so complete. I'd rather manually run a defrag tool once a month or two and know its handling all the files....
There are many antivirus that are free such as Avast and AVG but for users that are a bit more experienced such as myself, I have gone without AV for a long time without any issues. I have not had antivirus on my machine since 2003. A little common sense goes a long way to keeping one safe. Also OSX is slowly starting to become a target of malware and trojans so its only time before you're in the same boat.
Many of those junk off the shelf motherboards are more feature rich than the apple mainboards. Features like hardware raid, built in SAS ports, more USB ports..etx. Also those junk components typically come with longer warranties also at no additional price. Incidientally. Asus and other PC junk parts makers are the ones that produce the parts in the Apple products.
Off the shelf hard drives also come with longer warranties as a result of not having an apple sticker stuck to it. Standard apple warranty for a hard drive that comes with the the system is 1 year. Standard seagate warranty is 3-5 years (as an example).
Memory...well many memory makers give lifetime warranty if you buy it as off the shelf junk. I think I prefer that. I kind of like knowing that my garbage cobbled together machine has a longer warranty than a much more expensive machine. Many power supplies are also available with lifetime warranties.
There are many video options for off the shelf junk that are faster as well. Before you say the GTX285 thats available for teh apple, its just a standard 'junk' EVGA off the shelf item thats got a different firmware. Thats all. Hope you wouldnt throw that off the shelf junk into a Mac.
Anyway I suspect that you might be able to say why you consider the off the shelf parts junk other than just blindness.

enjoy your antivirus. oh and don't forget to search for that printer driver on the internet. By the way, clean the registry on a weekly basis and use the included defragmenter for your "1TB 7200 drive".
