The Mac Pro works great as a WIndows server, but as others have stated, there are more cost effective solutions and more customizable solutions that fit a specific application better. How much storage do they need? The Mac Pro is a 4 drive box, but for less money you can build a PC to hold 12 drives. Do they really need high end xeon cpu's or will an i5 do well? Back up power suppplies? hot swap drives?
