[QUOTE="carter1551, post: 1575766, member: 84406"] Thanks for your inputs. I went ahead and pulled the trigger on it. I spec'd the cpu's & 16gb of ram and after that I'll be at about $450 spent for the whole rig. I'm actually very happy with SL & Logic 9 (not a mav's or LPX fan) and don't have any issues using that on my Pro. This will also give my laptop extended life as I'll only have to use it for school and DJ'ing. It was this or a hackintosh and I really didn't want to have to build a whole system. I have a follow up question. 1. Can I purchase any SLAEG Xeon X5355's? In some listings on ebay and other sites they say things like "pulled from disassembled Dell server". Just want to be sure I am purchasing compatible chips here. Also its my understanding that SLAEG is the best choice because it will consume less power at idle. [/QUOTE]
