RE: (please grow up) Your straw man

They are not "off the shelf" You can't buy a rasberry Pi "off the shelf"

I bought mine off the shelf from Amazon. And I used a couple different OS's on it including OpenELEC.

You can't buy the modified Bryston board off the shelf, - it is custom. The Sim Audio mainboard is available off line. And, the Sonore & the Auralic Aries are mainboards custom built and not capable of being purchased by an end user.

So? Did I say they were? No, I said many such products DO use off the shelf motherboards. Is that incorrect?

...a PC needs much more than a mainboard before it is considered a PC/computer.

I'm not arguing that point. Where did I say anything contrary to that?
