I'm thinking I'm going to get it for work, I need to get out of gaming and all now. Wasted to much of my life on them. I still play the occasional WoW though.
Anyways, I'm looking at the Mac Pro Quad Core, and upgrading the memory to 8gb I think. I might go ahead and get two video cards from Apple and get 4 screens separate, since you can pretty much get 24" LCDs for a few hundred bucks now a days.
So, here's the config. for the Mac Pro I'm looking at.
The default 2.66ghz processor - included in base price
Upgrade the memory to 8gb - $250 (I might just add that myself)
1TB Hard Drive - $100 (or get the default 640gb for the OS and add the other 3 myself)
Nvidia Geforce GT 120 512mb x2 - $150 (Okish price I think)
All the other stuff (monitors, etc) I can get from Newegg. This brings the price to $2,999. Now, that I could somewhat afford, it'd take a while but I could do it.
Now that I've decided this is mainly for work, which I'll need a decent work computer for my video editing, web design, etc I might go ahead and get it now. I can also do my video work on here since it'd be a hell of a lot faster then this iMac my boss gave me -_-.
Now, for hard drive space, aren't 1tb's cheap these days? I'm thinking I could just get a few external ones and set them up with the others I've got. Video editing take up a lot of space
.
For software, my boss has the corporte versions for everything just about and he's already going to allow me to use the software on the Mac if I get it, so that covers Final Cut Pro, Microsoft Office, etc, etc. I just need to get Adobe software for the web design.
