I'm opposite of you guys I guess.
Its pretty rare that I recommend a white box solution to a client (ps I also consider Dell to be a white box). I always put an HP/compaq, or IBM, or Toshiba solution into a client site.
I'm in the business of minimizing risks and long term costs, White boxes are usually cheaper right off of the bat, but in terms of a total cost of ownership model in a corporate environment, I've had a lot less trouble with the Compaqs of the world.
If you can build your own box, it will save you some money. Just make sure that the ATI Radeon card that you buy is actually an ATI radeon and not a poorly made knockoff.
Just my own thoughts

I agree with you, for a business I would never recommend clones, and of course garbage software isn't an issue because there should be a standard build that can be ghosted onto a machine at any time (which if you have a melange of clones becomes much more difficult).
