Looked at a Mac Pro lately?
Massive power supply, regular boards, great all aluminum case, best cooling on the market, better chipsets than you can get elsewhere....
Yes yes,
Very cute, very expensive, very Apple.
Just for you I went to Apple.com:
“Start building your Mac Pro with our suggested configuration:
Two 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Harpertown” processors
2GB memory (800MHz DDR2 fully-buffered DIMM ECC)

16x double-layer SuperDrive

You’re frigging nuts!
I could have a faster 10,000 RPM HDDs and have two of them running RAID 0, faster processor 3.2 GHz, faster and more powerful GPU (twice the memory and faster), twice the RAM that has a lower latency (LAT3)....... and still be UNDER the price of the Apple!
And that’s using ATI GPU, Corsair 4GB RAM 800MHz LAT3, WD HDDs, Intel core...... http://www.newegg.com
