Full FeedMy $20,000 Apple Mac Pro
If you haven’t heard by now, Apple has tried to steal away some of the Consumer Electronics Show thunder, by releasing a new Mac Pro exactly one week before the start of Macworld. The beefed up the machine with a heck of a lot of processors (it has eight) as well as support for tons of RAM, hard drive space, and high end graphics and audio cards.
So you may ask, “how far can this think go?”. That was exactly what I tried to find out.

Without adding external monitors or additional software, I was able to push the price of a self configured Mac Pro to just over $20,000 (no there is not an extra zero there). Please tell us if you buy one, we would love to come by and see the rest of your house.

I do this sort of thing often and even maxed out an XServe setup with XRaid and it came to something like $95,000(NZ). For a server setup with huge amounts of storage on a Fibre Channel that’s not a bad price considering some systems are close to that just for the Windows licensing.

I’d settle for the $10k model and load up on cinema displays
