[QUOTE="Triumph-Nut, post: 1711757, member: 126363"] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=5][SIZE=6]I find these ten-year-old posts interesting. Since I've been opening up and souping up my Macs since 1986, Meinself would*recommend, you look for a good used mid 2012 Apple PRO Tower. It will handle nearly anything you throw at it. And, it is internally accessable. You can install different PCI boards, etc. The Current Pro Towers, are IMNSHO, "Plastic Waste Baskets." After trying three different Lap Tops, this ole curmudgeon finds everything since the G3 Pismo to be too fragile and maddening to acess the workings. Even changing a hard drive is an exacting chore for my glove size X-large hands. Was scared off of the G-7s by all of the posts of persons with major problems. HOWEVER, the Newer iMacs use very little computer desk real-estate. BUT, I'd Keep the Extended warrranty for at least 3 years. Trying to open one of them up to repair, could result in a Basket Case. Made my Souped up Quicksilver G4's last eight years. Still using one purposely off line for my financial info.:Cool:[/SIZE][/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
