"Misery, heartbreak, sorrow, and despair. No, I'm not talking about adolescence; I'm referring to what happens when you're stuck with a PC from Hell. Systems that were overpriced and underpowered, parts that failed two days after the warranty expired, marathon phone calls with brain-dead tech support staff - over the years we've suffered more than our share of ills, and so have millions of other innocent PC users. But picking these 10 Worst PCs of All Time wasn't as easy as it sounds."

"So, if you know how much you want from your system, you would probably end up building the best system, lean and mean!"
Exactly. Choose the parts with quality and your needs in mind. Also keep in mind what OS you are going to use (example: don't buy an ATI card for Linux, and possibly not an ADSL modem or a widescreen monitor)
Then build it yourself or have it built by a friend.

Almost all PCs have a problem or more.
This is the computing nature; add a complicated hardware parts to a complicated software parts and you would get a super critical piece of complication.
That's why Real Time OS based machines which are used in critical computing are very simple compaired with a desktop PC; they would just use one or more simple hardware parts with a software written in thousands of code lines (if not hundereds).
So, if you know how much you want from your system, you would probably end up building the best system, lean and mean!
