However, I found a few places I could custom order, and not get that crap. Unfortunately machines end up running $1500-2000.00. But I am always more happy.

I hear you there, one of the main reason for building my own was to avoid bloatware and to get some good power for the money. I took a look at ibuypower.com and even though they did seem pretty reasonable compared to the normal equivalents I couldnt resist having a crack at a self build
As you say, they may end up running to $1500 and more but, from what I'm told, off the shelf they'd be twice that.
