Actually if you look again, it's 32GB of Ram. There are 2 of those 16GB kits. I parted out a 6 core Sandy (socket 2011) and with all the bells and whistles I have on the other build you would run that computer for a little more than $3000 depending on what power you want. That includes 2 SSD drives 2 2TB HDD 32Gb Ram and the 580GTX 3GB card. Still, compared to a Mac Pro either computer will do some damage for much less.

I always turn hyperthreading off on my pc, because I can get at least 300-500 mHz improvement per core with overclocking, with more stability. Not to mention RAM requirements.

And Rob, that build is seriously starved for RAM - 16 GB is not nearly enough for CS6 with an 8 core xeon. you'd be better off going with an overclocked i7 sandy bridge six core and 32 GB RAM for much less.
