Of course most people would not opt for the Xeon, and just get a core i9, and standard DDR4 memory rather than ECC, much cheaper. Unless you are doing scientific data simulations, or ultra precision 3D modeling ECC is a waste of money. Why pick such an ugly case? There are much nicer looking cases that would work, for less. Windows/Linux users can also opt for a Ryzen/Threadripper based system, which would also save a lot of money, and offer more cores/threads for less. The AMD Vega GPU's are also a poor choice, unless pure compute power is what you need. Perfomrance of the 56 and 64 are less than the GTX 1080 and about on par with the 1070/Ti. Of course Apple sticks with AMD because it's a little cheaper and better for OpenGL, but Vega cards have poor performance per watt, and create a lot of heat. Not a good thing for an AIO. Apple may also have shipment issues, due to poor yields of HBM2 for those GPUs.
