own PC systems for many years....

Which of the major PC manufacturers, such as HP-Compaq, Dell, IBM use
proprietary mainboards, PSUs and other components in their desktop systems?

The answer is that they all use some proprietary content in their systems. It
all depends on the chassis size... Ben Myers

And they all have some models which are not proprietary at all, if one considers
