(comparable very high end boxes will cost $160K and still not be identical nor will any other box drive 6 6k monitors simultaneously with no lag)

I wouldn’t go quite that high. . . Some MIGHT reach $160,000 if fully populated with all the stuff required that will fit in a fully populated Mac Pro. . . But then that Mac Pro would be in the $40,000 range itself. Of course you can add 36 devices onto the Mac Pro through daisy-chaining the Thunderbolt 3 ports at 40Gb speeds, and not lose anything. . . Including storage, more graphics cards, more monitors, even more Mac Pros. There are rack-mounted Mac Pros that can be chained together to create a Supercomputer of any size, if you desire. . . But then the 56 teraflops of the fully populated single Mac Pro is no slouch in computing power.

I saw the 160K figure in some MP review so I just repeated it. I forget which review - thanks for hopping in.
