No one asked for a $10,000 small as humanly possible trash can. What pro user cares about how small their desktop machine is? All we wanted was the cheese grater with upgrade components. Unfortunately for them, I'll be building another machine this time around. Especially since I've moved all of my dev environments, and resource intensive tasks to PC.

What I meant was that I would expect the Pro to have a much smaller form-factor tax than a Mac Mini. Your $2k price point is probably not directly comparable to the price ranges you'd see from a larger case.

The iMac Pro starts at $5000. I'd expect the Mac Pro to start somewhere around there. At the very cheapest, $4000 since you don't get a screen.
