Anyone got $12,288 to lend me?

Mac ProWith the Mac Pros finally here, I decided to see what it would cost for the system of my dreams. Thus, I present to you, the killer Mac Pro.

  • Two 3GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors
  • 16GB of RAM
  • 4 500GB 7200rpm SATA drives
  • nVidia Quadro FX 4500 Graphics card
  • 2 Super Drives
  • Bluetooth 2.0
  • AirPort Extreme
  • Wireless Apple Keyboard and Wireless Mighty Mouse

    Now, sure, I could have added a pair of 30” Apple Cinema Displays for $4000, but there’s no point being greedy. And I guess I could save about $1300 by switching the Quadro out for the ATI Radeon or close to the same for 4 GeForce 7300 GTs instead, but hey, if you’re going to do it then do it right.

    On the downside, it’d take 2-4 weeks to get this sucker built. But a least shipping’s free.
