Stonerboy779 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 I wasn't aware they made dual CPU Mac Pros Point is the price of the mac pro and what you could get instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muchoman1 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 well i just spec'd one with two 6 cores at 2.9 ghz, 64gb ram, a ssd, 6tb storage, dual 5770s, no screens or anything like that, and it came in at over $14000, now my build is shaping up to be well under $5k retail, and im paying much less than that. when my rig is done i will get the two pictures for a comparison Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible analogy, Skoda cars are great for rallying, I'd drive one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il_napoletano Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 ok...skoda was the first cheap car make I thought of....so just think of a car make that has a cheaper baseline than BMW yet has a few luxury cars....chevy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muchoman1 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 ok...skoda was the first cheap car make I thought of....so just think of a car make that has a cheaper baseline than BMW yet has a few luxury cars....chevy? i disagree with this whole concept, as my computer is faster, higher quality, more powerful, more versatile, runs cooler, looks a hell of a lot better, built to a higher standard. just cause i dont pay a huge premium for someone else to put it together, doesnt mean its a chevy compared to a BMW.
