On a separate note, does anyone know where one can buy a 12-core, 32GB RAM, SSD RAID machine that's not made by apple? I've looked around and I can't find any.

On a separate note, does anyone know where one can buy a 12-core, 32GB RAM, SSD RAID machine that's not made by apple? I've looked around and I can't find any. Blade servers, sure, but desktop workstations? I think it's interesting how apple has claimed the ultra high end user market in addition to it's other markets.

You can configure HP's Z800 workstations with two 6-core Xeons, including some higher-spec CPU models than the ones Apple has available, and up to 192GB of RAM, 6 HD bays, way more graphics options, etc., for a system costing up to several tens of thousands of dollars. I did one HP Z800 configuration similar to the Mac Pro 12-core, with the same CPU and RAM and slightly better graphics, and it came out over $1000 more expensive than the Mac Pro.

All 3 of the main PC manufacturers (Dell, HP, and Lenovo) make such a system: HP Z-series (I like the Z600[1]), or the Lenovo Thinkstations (C20[2] is currently my favorite workstation, as it's tiny but still can have dual Xeons).
