My belief is that for the reason of "replicating pretty what the Looperlative LP1 does" it doesn't matter if Apple, Dell or you yourself put the pc together. A more important issue is what audio interface you chose to use. The traditional reason for going with an Apple box is that they are produced in such a controlled way that you pretty much know what you're getting and if you need service the repair man has access to accurate documentation. Then there are of course some software that run better under Apple's OS but that is not the case here (as I imagine you'd like to run Mobius on it which works with Windows too). I personally like using Apple's computers because of the low downtime when switching machine. When I was using all kinds of Windows based machines I solved this workflow consistency issue by installing several identical boot partitions on several alternative drives so I could always reboot from another system clone if something should go wrong (and of course no internet or virus protection software in the audio system partition).
