    I have nothing to do so i went to Apple site to max out Mac Pro. With no extra software (only computer + monitor), it came out $24.447.00 (+2000 for tax). Is there any more expensive desktop out there? (it can get much more expansive if i change HD to SSD but Apples doesn't offer that option)

    here is the stats

    The SaS drives already cost a bomb! I would love to use that as a server rather than a desktop :)

    I wish I had the money to buy a computer like that. Even a computer better than my current one would satisfy me.

    Woah, that is one expensive machine there but is it worth it buying for your desktop though? Even I have that kind of money, I wouldn't waste it on that.
