I know for a fact that Dell is selling PC's with Linux on them and I'm sure there are a few other manufacturers out there as well. There's always the option of buying your own parts. It sounds a little scary for your average consumer, but anyone with internet access can go find instructions online to not only build a PC, but also what parts to buy. Companies like Newegg even sell bundles with everything you need to put a system together.
I think the only thing Linux needs is for the national/world community to rally behind one consumer-friendly distro and market the hell out of it.
