Apple is indeed very overpriced. All you are paying for is stylish looking hardware that they have designed anyway.
At least with a PC you can build it from scratch yourself and choose your own look. It's a shame that they don't want it to run on x86 hardware, but hey, its their company, let them do what they want.
If you are desperate for OS/X and want full functionality, then you can either install Apple OS/X and hope for the best, or you could install a linux flavour of your choice and then customise it to look and behave exactly like OS/X. I did this once with Kubuntu, looked exactly like a mac and behaved like one.
At the end of the day, OS/X is only BSD with a bit of fettling by the Apple developers. If you look you will find other closed source *nix OS's too.
