It depends on what you call "pretty decent." You have to compare branded boxes, with comparable quality. Not junk.

Put together something branded that's comparable to an iMac, including it's 27" IPS glass, and you'll see it's pretty good value. And it looks damned good, too.

And yes, it's true, a Mac is a little more expensive in Europe than in the US, but so is a Porsche.
