Really this isn't expensive 
If you go customize yourself for a Mac Pro at max you'll pass this price tag by a considerable amount.

Yawn. If you need this power, you're likely betting your business on it. That means you don't buy something without a pedigree.
You buy Crossbeam, or you buy Egenera. Heck, Sun has a decent solution, and the various Bladecenter offerings aren't terrible either.

No no no i was just talking about enthusiasts...like the article said if you need "a lil" more punch for your average work computer you might consider this...
And it is, after i threw like 7-8k in my new rig...12 more and i would have had a 40 CPU rig

Nah! If you really need performance, go with IBM's Power 6 lineup, either AIX or Red Hat Linux. Their top scientific system is a 32 core 4.7ghz server. It rates at 730 gigaflops per SPEC. The top business system is the 64 core, 5.0ghz P595. It can have up to 4TB of memory. Yes, 4 terabytes!! It will cost a bit more than $20,000. FYI, it smashed the TPC-C record at 6 million. The top 128 core HP Superdome is only 4 million.
Again, depends what you're doing. You're talking supercomputing. I was talking virtualization.
