Is it dishwasher safe? Kidding! I'd buy it if I could afford to pay for style over optimizing for cost:power.

  You would find it pretty hard to spec a similar machine for similar cost. And then you would still have to find an alternative to the Afterburner card.

    I wasn't clear. Strictly speaking, I don't need that much power. 1/5 of that is fine. I am honest about my needs as a musician, writer, and occasional video person. My needs would be well-served by a ~$1k system. If I had the money, I would get it just because I can, and for all those weird resource-demanding ideas I can't do on a more practical computer.

    It would be possible to spec a similar machine for similar cost as less (once the component parts are available like the new Radeon Pro), as the $6000 starting price tag is for the base model, i.e., only 8 cores, 32 GB RAM, and a Radeon Pro 580X. (The Afterburner card appears to be standard.) The 1.5TB ram, 32 cores, etc., are upgrade options. Based on past Apple history, a fully-specced Mac Pro could top $20k. https://www.apple.com/mac-pro/ https://www.apple.com/mac-pro/
