ATTN: MAC USERS - Need some advice?

Question

I am putting together a studio for sound production.  I have always been a PC user but I know MAC and ProTools are really the best out there.  I will be connecting a Mackie ONYX 1640 with a FireWire card.  Most of my production needs to be MP2 or MP3.  I do all of my recording at 44,100 16bit Stereo.  I need to be able to produce broadcast quality advertising production as well as Radio Station Imaging. 

I am looking  for an economical setup that will support running ProTools as well as additional external media storage.  Again I am new to the world of Mac so I am not sure what is worth the investment and what would just be frivilous.  I can upgrade after a few production contracts are executed.  But to get started, what is a good base?

If you are looking for a system that you can upgrade later get yourself a Mac Pro.

And then when you have bought a Mac Pro about $4000 for a good one think about what a brilliant PC you could have got for $2000. Mac Pro is way over priced and under powered.
