No, for I do not have more money than sense :):)

I would never be able to use the full potential of a machine like that (not even close).
Also ~£2100 of that spec was monitors entirely anyway.

I don't think I could ever spend more than £900.00 on a full computer, I'd much rather just upgrade and buy the most cost effective parts every year or so than buy lots of overpriced hardware.

If I ever went crazy enough to buy a computer like that I would upgrade the PSU a tad.:)

even if i was mega rich I wouldn't spend that much,

some things there's just no need for, for example two ssd's? four 3d monitors? lol ya cant even look at four at the same time!

Depends entirely what it is for. Also if you are asking if we would spend that much on that particular spec.

For work purposes deffinately if it warrants it. The PC i work on quite a lot is worth more than that, for starters it has two Quadro 6000's which I believe currently are in the region of £5000 each, so just on graphics i have 10K. But then that is because the work we do warrants the cost, we easily make our money back on the PCs.
