I don't think it'd be a waste at all if you can afford it. I don't see how ordering a mac pro makes it any harder to build? The case is specifically designed to be easily upgradable. You don’t need to turn the system on its side to make changes. Slide out the processor tray to add memory. Slide out hard drive bays to add storage. Slide a simple bar to change up to four expansion cards at once. And with plenty of I/O ports both front and back.
Since this IS my DREAM setup, it goes:
3X 30" Apple HD cinema displays.
Two 2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors
16GB (8x2GB) of RAM
3X 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s
4x NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512MB
This will be one of my few investments once I'm done school. Mainly for photography and video editing/rendering.
Also, it's funny that people are all "lol imacs = apple = crap because not high end" , then it's like "lol mac pro? too high end people won't need it!"
Some people are just never happy.
