Also if you build a PC with the same parts as a mac pro, it usually comes out to costing about the same if not more. Most 12 core workstations that dell or HP offer start at $7k

It's not hard to look at there website and see what hardware is in their computers only to realize its twice the price and is certainly not the "newest" hardware.


You seriously need to take a look at apple's website and do a comparison of what you can get the same exact parts for on newegg and see how much of a cost difference it is. Not to mention I can get most hardware for OEM prices.
