You’re paying $3000 for some PCIe slots. And as others have pointed out, there’s very little demand for those slots. I think those two details are related in the opposite way people would expect. I think Apple knows extremely well that very few customers want those slots these days. That $3000 takes into account the considerable NRE costs that went into developing the Mac Pro since no other model has PCI slots. This is designed to be a very low-volume product. One of the few “Pro” products Apple sells where the name is sincere.
