2013 Mac Pro: What is the cost of a Power Packed Exotic?

Mac Pro: 10K or 15K? -Image altered and not directly from Apple Inc.

The newly revealed, intoxicatingly exotic, Apple Mac Pro, with PCIe flash storage, workstation-class graphics, Thunderbolt 2.0, Intel Xeon E5 processors and USB 3.0; artfully crafted within a body like no other; seems to quietly command a price tag commensurate with the power it portends. The tech media and professionals alike, are abuzz with constrained speculation over the price tag of this Lamborghini without wheels.

Considering the product release history of the company, bringing inspiring technology to mere mortals, I believe a high-end, custom-configured machine, will cost $10K-$15K, Apple material preponderance and all. This is the future of the Apple Pro desktop after all, and they want to make sure media professionals can afford it at present.
