Good Case: $150
Good Mobo: $200
Good CPU: $200
Good RAM: $200
Good GPU: $200
Good SSD: $150
Good HDD: $100
Good PSU: $75
Good DVD: $25
That's $1300 at retail pricing. I'm sure Apple will deliver a nicer package, but really there's no need for a base machine to cost more than that. Such a machine would be smokin' fast for most pro uses.
