    The Mac Pro uses server grade procs, ram and mobo. This is expensive no matter if you're on Mac or PC. (intel server mobo is like $1k). These components are spec'd for continuous use at high load like a server or render node. Really not necessary for a desktop unless you're consistently rendering AFX or Maya night and day.

    The dell is probably going to be faster and better suited to the desktop. I wouldn't recommend an iMac. they cook hardrives (maybe bad thermal design?)
