The Mac Pro only costs three times as much as a cheese grater???

Apparently they make it up on the wheels. Apple is a strange company.

I think the wheels and stuff are just for marketing at this point.

I just looked at the product page and every single image makes me dislike this product more than the last. The goddamn thing probably weighs 10 pounds and comes with fucking wheels.

Edit: Apparently it weighs 37 pounds. I don't know how they crammed that much bullshit into a 18 by 9 by 20 box, but they did and then they slapped wheels on it. The wheels are probably considered a two thousand dollar "value" by Apple, though.

bullshit doesn't end here. There's a $1k monitor stand, that needs a $200 extension to be vesa compatible, and is no better then some free stands that u get with (dare I say) normal monitors.

Surely you mean it comes with a 1000 dollar monitor, not...just the monitor stand?
