Looks like $2169 is the cheapest MacPro right now:

I just got my MacBookPro last July so no more new computers for me for a while.
The thing is, by the time you add this and that to this mac clone how much will you be out and still not have the real thing?
Macs now use the same Intel processors, Memory, graphics boards, drives, USB devices and monitors the Windows users use how is the Mac hardware different?
Leopard is a Unix variant like Linux? Could I repartition a Mac hard drive and run a version of Linux?
or repartition a Windows hard drive and run Leopard?
I mean at least theoretically, assuming there wasn't some code that either had the hardware check tho op sys or the op sys check the hardware.
Is it a question of the Mac having a different BIOS or chip set? Also, setting aside the question of whether MACs basic applications are superior, are the pros/advantages of Leopard mostly related to its UNIX base and thus Linux would share those advantages or does it have distinct advantages over the best Linux distributions?
And that's an older model that Apple doesn't sell anymore. The cheapest new model is $2,299 (one quad-core Xeon 2.8 GHz).

Maybe it was a typo and they meant iMac. Those specs don't even come close to a Mac Pro, especially since they don't use Xeon processors. The retail parts for a Mac Pro cost more than what Apple sells it for.
