Ironically, Apple's workstations are fairly competitive.
Only the dual core models.
I can build any of the single core models for about 1/2 price.

Seems more likely to me, and that would put the margins back in the 30% range.I... so Apple makes $450 a machine? Sounds quite possible to me.
Right. This is the weird thing about the PC market. We've come to expect phenomenally low prices on hardware because it has become so commoditized and modular. Re-integrating is now the name of the game, and Apple is doing that in style. They can charge almost whatever they want for their integrating service. People will pay it because they don't want to think about the computer, they just want to use it.
