Will this smash the Apple Trash Can?

[Ryan Wee]

Hi guys,

I got bored and decided to come up with a build and see if this could smash the top of the range Mac Pro (Priced at $32139). This will be a workstation class PC and for a lower price tag, will it beat the Mac Pro?

No worries, i was also wondering cuz that price tag seemed a little far fetched

As far as I know the most expensive MAC PRO was around the $20k mark, but it was with 'all the extras' to be able to reach that number, peripherals and all.
