These are dual quad-core CPU computers. Real server-grade processors too, intel charges 750$-2700$ (depending on speed) for a couple of Xeons. The motherboards for those setups are quite expensive to boot.

Sounds beefy.

 

No shit. Hilariously enough, Apple has always had a very weird GPU offering for these, it was either 2004's mid-line nvidia/ati or 2000$ pro GPU. Anyways they used to be very competitive price wise up to the point some people bought them to wipe the HD and install Windows on these.

Until 2009 of course, when Apple decided they should be earning an additional 1000$-1500$ per unit sold on top of what they were earning on the Mac Pro from 2006 to 2008.
