Eh, what the hell (or: I pulled the trigger)


my mac pro 1,1 reach 5th year of faithful service next month, , i've been biding time waiting refresh or decent deal on 2010 mac pro. found think pretty price on nice hexacore model, said hell , jumped on it.

3.33ghz hexacore
3gb ram
512gb ssd
ati 5870
magic mouse
lion

new in box, $3600. i'm going purchase 240gb ssd, 16gb ram (1 chip maintain upgradability), , caldigit esata/usb3 card owc , recover of cost selling 512gb ssd (pretty selling prices on fleabay part these days).

it's first new mac in 5 years, i'm pretty stoked. thought lot waiting refresh, personal belief similar performance 2012 mac pro come @ similar price, , don't care thunderbolt, pci 3.0, or having more 6 cores. it's great machine , serve me quite until ipad 6 arrives enough horsepower drive pair of external 27" displays , run pile of debian vms ;)
 

happiness in eye of beholder. believe want now; can't make time lost waiting next latest , greatest. it's race can't win. congrats. :cool:
