Easy: One vendor, one support contract/warranty.

There's one number to call, and they'll repair any part of the machine up to and including swapping out the whole thing. Anyone buying a machine that expensive they really need would(and should) be looking at 24 hour turn around on site service anyways.

And the only way to really get that is to buy a whole prebuilt machine from $BIGCOMPANY
