[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1704913, member: 56379"] You don't want this computer…period!!! It's an older Mac Pro version that has some significant limitations. It's also extremely overpriced. It should be selling for close to $100 (maybe $150). Sure you do!;) I've already told you that around $350 is a decent price for a moderately equipped Mac Pro 1186 with 8-cores (the latest computer you listed only has 4 cores)…note the "dual core" nomenclature. You also want to look for the additional model info of Mac Pro 3,1 or higher. The latest one you linked to is a Mac Pro 1,1. Beyond this (for the best value for your money). More internal HD's would be better (if included)…more ram (more than say 4gig)…a 512meg or better video card…and an installed SSD would be nice. But all of these are things you can upgrade yourself…and in many cases more $$$ on top of a $350 Mac Pro 3,1. - Nick [/QUOTE]
