Problem is Apple know this setup can be cheaper and faster than their ludicrously priced Mac Pros, so they won\'t be making one anytime soon
Again with the perpetuating of this \"myth\". The MacPro is less expensive than any comparable Windows machine from any Tier 1 or 2 vendor.
You cannot compare it to home builds. 99% of computer users buy prebuilt systems.

It\'s not a myth. It\'s faster, honestly, i\'m using it now. I can compare it to home builds because a) I can build a computer, and b) I\'m talking about me, and my money. There is no need for Apple to use expensive server components in their Quad Mac Pro, there is nothing offered (less infact, with only 4 ram dimms) a desktop i7 CPU and board don\'t offer. This new 27\" iMac has only highlighted what a poor dear the quad MacPro actually is. Good use of the 99% statistic though.
*sigh*
To each their own. If you want to build your own system, then fine. But don\'t come on here and insist that anyone who doesn\'t is wasting money.
And don\'t come on here and insist that anyone who wants to pay for what Apple offers is wasting money.
If anything you are wasting your time building your own. I have better things to do that fritter away hours and hours building, testing, configuring and warrantying a computer. Such as responding to all the \"beating a dead horse\" posts such as yours.
