520780 2007-01-30 21:07:00 looking at the apple site and buying everything through apple about $18,000.
although you are paying a premium for ram and the xtra harddrives.
though the mac pro is meant to be cheaper then the Dell version

First PC I bought for myself was a Mac II. Had a 16MHz 68020 CPU, a huge 30MB (yes, MB) hard drive (40MB was standard I think but I got a smaller one due to budget constraints - stupid), 4MB of RAM and a 256-colour 14-inch display.

This beast (oh, and it was a beast in 1988) also cost me $18,000 and that was with a 25% discount via our work supplier. So you get a lot more Mac for your $18,000 nowadays.
