I have had a MP trash can for almost 2 years and it has been the best workstation experience I have had (including HP/Windows, Mac Pro towers, etc).
Based on my research at the time, I went for 8 cores, AMD700 GPUs and 32 GB of RAM. This seems to be the price/performance sweet spot for long form editorial and finishing. Encoding MP4s and whatnot is extremely fast.
They are also dead quiet. The only time I hear it is if I am transcoding say Red footage in a big batch - the fan becomes (mildly) audible.
In my experience, Adobe Premiere Pro is better optimized than Avid for playback or scrubbing of Red Raw or other such files.
Only con I can think of is the expense - they ain't cheap. But I don't mind buying professional tools if they can be made to pay for themselves.
