Actually, it's easy to hit the $4000+ mark without the heat-sensitive colors. Other companies do the "pimped out" thing too, Falcon Northwest and VoodooPC in particular; Alienware uses its own distinctive cases instead. Hypersonic also makes equally excessive desktop systems, workstations, and small form-factor systems. While these custom PC builders offer "pimped" systems as an option, it's just as easy to spend the money on better components. After all, I'd rather my computer run fast instead of just look fast. At least with Hypersonic, you can make it run fast and quietly instead of sounding like a wind tunnel. :)
