upsguy27 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I am selling my Mac Pro to get a current gen top-of-the-line iMac. I'm selling it for $2100. It cost me $2700 refurbished last month. I am also definitely open to a trade for a 24" 3.06Ghz iMac. It would make things easier. But, if you have any other trades, let me know, I just might accept. So, specs: Two 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors 2GB (2 x 1GB) of 800MHz DDR2 ECC fully buffered DIMM 320GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s 7200-rpm hard drive One 16x SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) ATi Radeon 2600XT with 256MB VRAM (two dual-link DVI ports) Comes with original mouse, keyboard, discs, manuals, etc. Pic: More pictures on request.

Guest Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Are you really sure you want to do this? I'm not satisfied with my 2008 20'' iMac and i think the Mac Pro is a much better computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I've researched plenty on the iMac vs. the Mac Pro. Honestly, I just don't need this much power in a computer for what I'm doing right now. I think a 3.06Ghz Core 2 would be fine, along with a 1TB HD and then I can upgrade to 8GB RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

604edv Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Make sure you take the glossy screen and the loss of more than 2 monitors with an iMac. I always thought I wouldn't need anymore than the power of an iMac. I was wrong. I do design and development and before I knew it the glossy panel was making me blind, I needed more work space, and only 2 cores and more importantly 4 gigs of slowish ram was killing me on dev time. I'm not sure what you are using it for but unless its just general web-surfing - email stuff, I'd be hesitant to trade up. The main thing I'd consider is the whole glossy / multiple screens thing. If you are worried about saving energy (I was on my hack build, all silent parts / passive cooling with undervolted controlled fans and a 82% efficency power supply with underclocked graphics card) I think you can turn off one of the processors (name of the app is slipping my mind). *discolsure: totally anti-iMac biased as a result of having 3 iMac G5 failures in 3 years and 1 iMac aluminum intel failure in 2 years. Built a hack for the quality not just the money...* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
