This got me thinking, if I can build that for around $2.4k, what kind of workstation could I build for $4k (what Ironside is selling it for).

Now, obviously I'm not going to be building this (unless I win the lotto tomorrow). But, I've never really put together a workstation PC. I've only designed cheap office ones and gaming ones. So, just out of curiosity, would this be a good workstation for $4k? THANKS!!
