I haven't looked, but I'm not sure it's possible to overclock a Mac.
Whether it's possible on a PC depends on the CPU and motherboard. The ASUS MB I have has overclocking up to 30% as a BIOS setting, with greater levels possible if you feel like manually specifying core voltages and front side bus speeds.
Other Mobos deliberately lock things down so you can't do that.

Maybe some day ... and maybe someday people will be able to build an "Apple" product from scratch for less than it costs in the store ... but I sort of doubt it.

Don't hold your breath.

I guess I'm the only person who thinks that Apple exercises way too much control over what end users can do with its products. It still bothers me that you have to go through so many hoops just to change a battery on your iPod. That's another pretty car with hood welded shut ... that I actually own.

I think Apple exercises more control than I'm happy with, too. But I can see reasons why they do it, rooted in service and support requirements. And as mentioned, the market Apple aims at isn't generally interested in trying to do that.
I'm not an Apple customer, and the ones they have are happy with what Apple gives them.
