And that $2799.00 is bare-bones...wow, you may get 2 Xeon quads, but you only get 2gigs of ram, a crappy graphics card, 1 hdd, and no monitor for that. On top of that, your buying a Mac.
The only good thing about that set up is the case---but Apple messes that up by plastering that big ass apple on the side.

BTW, you can configure a Dell workstation with almost exactly the same specs as the mac for the same price, so I am not sure how you think it's a much better deal going with a Mac.
