> Now, ordinarily these computations are run on a supercomputer and cost thousands of dollars per solution, or you’d need to build a cluster for $15-20K or more. But with 28 cores and the ability to handle up to 1.5TB of memory, the Mac Pro is a competitive alternative.

If a desktop is being considered, aren't desktops with similar performance from Dell, HP or whoever just as competitive?

(Also, that cluster is cheaper than this Mac.)
