Finally, the Macs have decent vidio cards. It was kinda of sad that unless one was willing to cough up 1200 for a NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500, their Mac Pro would be bested in graphics applications by a Macbook Pro.

Well, the NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 will only set you back an additional $2,850 ....

A fully decked out 3.2GHz eight core with 32GB of memory and 4 TB of Hard Drives will only cost $19,585.00.... probably the most expensive desktop Mac ever.

Of course you can save $6,300 by not buying the memory from Apple, and $730 by not buying the drives from them (and this savings includes throwing away the included RAM and HDD).
