Anyway, I'm pretty sure my question was specific to the new 27" iMac. It's important to remember that the iMac is Apple's consumer/workplace desktop. The Mac Pros are a completely different beast.
This is the very point I've been making. People claim that the iMac is over-priced, but yet they can't build it themselves (or buy it anywhere else pre-made) for less than what Apple sells it for.

The Dell precisions uses high end components as well. We have them deployed here for our Autocad users.
The problem I had was I didn't have enough technical specs to build something similar to the iMac. I did make a rough build, it was just under the iMac but those costs did not involve manual labor in me building the computer. (and yes, i had an IPS monitor, not a TN one)
