Hey Wayne,
We still dig out the artillery when warranted (could be why we don't hear from Cammy often).
And some of us even keep in touch with Franko (as well as waxing nostalgic about Doomy).


Also, not only are we still here, but there seems to be a slight revival in interest.
Thanks for everything.

Just joshing...
My view is things are decidedly, positively quiet now.
Need Franko and Magnetic back online.


That could liven things up.

You can get the previous generation Mac Pro towers for a great price still if you look. Its a straight forward upgrade to put in a new CPU (have to get a used one on ebay, but still good) and a standard PC GTX 980 will work if you don't care about the boot screen showing up. Just be sure and get a Mid 2010 or 2012 model so you have the better bus speed logic boards. As for processors you can often get a used HP server with the Xeons in them for less than the bare CPU.


I never thought of that.
I built a dual Xeon quad core system based on an Intel server board, but I had not considered used Apples.
There is a nice 12 core Mac Pro on eBay right now.
