Oh it's a beast of a machine that you'll get for that wedge but I feel like they've rounded all the component parts up to the nearest $1,000 just because they can. That display panel, that motherboard, that case, that PSU, that graphics card, that memory, the CPU – would you expect to pay the bones of $14K? From Amazon: - 18-core Xeon $2,826.20 - 128GB of ECC memory from Kingston in 32 GB chunks $1,569.63 - can't find the GPU but the Vega Frontier Edition with 16GB is $999 - Samsung 850 EVO 4TB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD $1,469 - Apple's own 5K monitor is $1,350 That's $8K – which means that the motherboard (which Apple make design and source themselves), the case, the peripherals and cables, the assembly and testing, and software make up the other $6K … $6K ???
