The new Mac Pro is total engineering prowess. Most PCs are in tin-can cases with components of wildly differing quality levels. An LED fan doesn't mean it is better than a dull, brown Noctua.
While it is true the price of Apple equipment is very high, I don't suppose they will sell that many Mac Pros compared to their more consumer-oriented devices. But those cast and machined cases take a lot of effort to produce. In particular the new aluminium bezel, that is CNC quality on another level. And whatever your take on the profit-margins, we exist in a free market. So does Apple. If people think the price is too high, they won't buy. Look at the automobile industry. Ferrari's built alongside Fiats on the same production-lines, but that doesn't mean the prices are the same.
