My computer is suffering corrosion issues due to living near the sea and I don't think it will last much longer due to components like the ram beginning to die.
Will a Mac Pro base model $3,999 in Australia beat my current computer? Is there a way I can put my 3 internal hard drives in my current computer as well as a 3tb hard drive I've got stored away in the mac pro? If not is there a cheap, compact empty hard drive bay of some sort I can buy to plug into the mac pro?
Also does the cooling system of the mac pro help prolong the life of the computer in situations such as living near the sea with the salt air?
