[QUOTE="12padams, post: 1583448, member: 326121"] Here are my specs of my current computer that I bought in 2010, note that I have added a 2tb hard drive to the empty slot. LENOVO: LEN S20 W3680/12GB/500GB/FX3800/XP/W7 Pro + LG: W2286L 22"W LED/2MS/DVI-D/HDMI Form Factor: Tower Chipset: Intel X58 Processor: Intel Xeon W3680 Processor (3.33GHz 1333MHz 12MB) - 130W Memory: 12GB (6x2GB)1333-UDIMM. 0 Memory Slots Empty ThinkStation S20 supports UDIMM only Raid Config: No Raid (Requires 3rd Party Raid Controller) Hard Drive: 500GB SATA 3.5" 7200 rpm. + 1 X LENOVO 1000GB 7200RPM SATA HDD 1 Hard Drive Bay Empty Card Reader/Slot: Memory Card Reader PRODUCT : Lenovo Blu-ray Burner COLOR : Business black INTERFACE : SATA AVERAGE ACCESS TIME : 150 ms OPTICAL DEVICE : Blu-ray Recordable OPTICAL DEVICE SPEED : 40X Max RECORDABLE : Yes REMOVABLE DRIVE : Yes Graphics Card: nVidia FX3800(1GB) Ethernet: Single Gigabit Ethernet Warranty: 3/3 Year Warranty Operating System: Windows XP Pro 32 (W7 Pro 64bit Recovery Media) BAY 1: 5.25", 1.6" high, access, std optical BAY 2: 5.25", 1.6" high, access, open BAY 3: 3.5", 1" high, access, media reader BAY 4: 3.5", 1" high, internal, std disk BAY 5: 3.5", 1" high, internal, opt disk Slot 1: half-length, full-height, PCIe 2.0 x16 (75w max) Slot 2: half-length, full-height, PCIe 2.0 x1 Slot 3: half-length, full-height, 32-bit PCI 2.3 Slot 4: half-length, full-height, 32-bit PCI 2.3 1 $ 6650.00 $ 6650.00 Total (Ex GST) $ 6650.00 Total (Inc GST) $ 7315.00 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? [/QUOTE]
