Is it just me or should the Single 1.8ghz PowerMac be cheaper?

I was just looking at it, it has the same processor, amount and type of ram, video card, hard drive, and superdrive as a 1.8ghz 17in iMac. The 2 are the same price though but the iMac has a display with it and comes in a really nice small package. Whats up with that?

Well it has a better system bus, more upgrade slots etc..

So if you're a professional who needs to use a PCI slot you have no alternative but to take the powermac route. So apple figures they can charge more
