try running a game on it, my 15" macbook pro gets really quite toasty when running oblivion (with every graphics setting on max, of course.).
do you have a unibody? the previous generation ran hotter. but i actually don't play computer games so i can't honestly compare. i did play around with zbrush for a while which used to make my old powerbook g4 burn.
i did have an instance when a kernel task ran rampant and used up 95 percent of my cpu and things got very hot. i think i caused it from simultaneous installations from dvds, an external hard drive and about 8 mounted ISOs, while also swapping files and downloading a ton more. but i'm not too sure because i restarted, it cooled down right away and i resumed my rampant installation and downloading process without any problem after that so it could of been just a bad app i ran.

that config is listed at macmall for 2289. it's still expensive but 600 less than what you claim.
or you could get this
Two 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors
2GB (2 x 1GB) of 800MHz DDR2 ECC fully buffered DIMM
320GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s 7200-rpm hard drive
16x SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB (two dual-link DVI ports)
for 2500.
i'm just saying. do some research.
and very outdated (and pretty underpowered) gfx cards...

They can support up to 4 Nvidia GT120 graphics cards and have replaced the shitty cards by both ATI and Nvidia from the previous years. The Mac Pro has lots of customization options that cater towards it as being a server style computer but it's definately not a generic desktop thats for sure.

lolwut
the GT120 is just a rebranded 9500GT
just get a GTX295 and it will blow those GT120's away
or if you just wanna go overkill, get 2 ASUS MARS GTX295's (dual GTX285 card)
