I likes the Mac pro.
OK, they balled up on targeted market; In terms of practicality its more of a home/middle business computer than a high-end business one.
Plus they could have made it water-cooled; Then it'd make a lovely vase

Will the guts of the machine fit into a regular chassis so cooling can be sorted out?

If your gonna go to that extent may as well build your own machine so its twice as fast but cost half the amount.

If your security policy includes the use of unlicensed software then yes, it's fine but always lagging on sometimes important updates.
