metallicamaster3 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 If you don't mind us (me) asking, how much was it? I'm gonna start saving :mad: Link to comment
Link Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Doing the math, I imagine with the mouse, printer, and speakers too. My guess is that it was about $5500-$6000; and that doesn't even include a display. Link to comment

Timan Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 How are you enjoying the machine? If I can sell this iMac I think I'm going to go for the 2.8ghz model with the 8800gt... Curious to see if you've tried bootcamp (though I see parallels in your pic) curious to see how that works out on the mac pro. Link to comment

Curious to see if you've tried bootcamp (though I see parallels in your pic) curious to see how that works out on the mac pro.Timan I love this Mac Pro its crazy fast, couple of my friends just got their 2.8GHz with 8800GT cost them around $2,999, I have tried Boot Camp with 64-Bit Vista and it runs great, Plays all PC games i've tried Crysis, Call Of Duty 4, Orange Box, BF2, BF 2142, Counter Strike Source and it all runs just like a regular PC, Parallels 3.0 works with Boot Camp plus it was free with purchase with the Mac Pro at MacMall.com, hope you sell your iMac you won't be disappointed with the Mac Pro, Now I'm just waiting for Apple to release updated Cinema Displays with built-in iSights because Leopard you can use PhotoBooth with the Mac Pro Link to comment
Timan Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Yea, just came back from the Apple store, took a look at the mac pros they had there and the mbp's which I was not a fan of at all.Now need to figure out a display, to get (apples are garbage) and where to get another one of those stock 320gb hd's it comes with so I can do a raid setup (cheaper than the 500gb upgrade through apple) Link to comment
