Whats the point??

Hi, I think it depends on where you'll display and view your images. For websites and online stuff I'd use a pocket camera with macro function. I like Canon so I'd be looking at what they do for $200. I say this because I believe the shot composition and subject then image post processing are more important than the kit used to take the image. Is a shot by Annie Lebovitz shot on a $60,000 phase one better than something shot on your D800? I'd say no, unless you're filling a wall with one shot.
Where were you going to view or display your images? Were you looking to do close up macro shots of the internal workings and then print and display them blown up big?

the traditional approach is full frame digital, with a macro prime of approx 100mm to keep a good working distance from the target to avoid shadows (etc.), a tripod, live view, a type of light box arrangement (doesn't have to be expensive), a light source...
Agree yes and no

I tend to agree with Mark that the primary question is: for what purpose do you take your pictures plus composition and topic are more important than equipment. But I would like to add that if you have a specific purpose in mind, you should have the equip...
