Take apart guide
Read some take apart guides for the various Intel Macs and you'll see they are quite a bit more than an overpriced PC.

For example, the fan in a MacBook Pro is a magnesium alloy encased ball-bearing fan of such high quality that the Mechanical Engineer disassembling the unit commented on how impressed he was with the engineering and quality of the part.
