Well, as far as an Intel workstation goes the Mac Pro uses Intel's latest Xeon processors, FB-DIMMs of RAM, has 4 HDD bays and plenty of other goodies. It's easily as good as the equivalent Dell, only in a stunning, sturdy, durable aluminium case that'll last you a lot longer than many other enclosures.

I don't know how it compares to other architectures, but for an x86 standalone workstation it's the business, and the price is realistic too.
