[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1798371, member: 56379"] Wanted to add Mike...that about 4-5 years ago I purchased (at different times) two used original style tower Mac-Pro's. One was a 2006 model...and the other a 2008 model. Both were 8-core (I upgraded the 2006 from 4-cores). Both of these 8-core Mac Pro's had CPU benchmark scores of about 10,000. Your 2014 Mac-Mini has a CPU benchmark score of about 6,000. What did I pay for these Mac Pros you may wonder. I paid $100 for the 2006...and $150 for the 2008. Both via Craig's List. If all you need is a computer that has better CPU performance than your 2014 Mac-Mini...you really don't need to spend a lot of money!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
