I have a feeling people complaining about price have no idea how much components in that thing cost.
Here's a little challenge:
Try to do a virtual build of a workstation with components that are as close as possible. Don't come up with unrelated components like i7s or GeForce cards that you personnally consider "good enough". Use actual workstation components that are technically as close as possible as what the Mac Pro offers.
You can even not match the fancy aluminium case, 6 Thunderbolt 2 ports and "Assembled in USA" factor, let's assume all of those things have absolutely no value to you and you only want equivalent internal components.
Post the price you come up with and see how that compares to the Mac Pro.
