[QUOTE="Adam, post: 413385, member: 16781"] Hi guys and girls! I'm looking at replacing some different bits and bobs with a Mac Pro and wondered what people would recommend and if anyone knows of any good places to get refurbished Macs in the UK? I currently have a mac mini acting as a test webserver, phone machine, and itunes server. I also have a Lacie MiniDisk ethernet backup drive which my MBP backs up to daily, I do site backups to it and it stores my itunes library. I want to get a Mac Pro to do it all in one and for me to use as my day to day machine. I get a little bit sick of having to plug everything in and out of my MBP depending on whether I'm working at the desk or not. Lazy I know but there you have it. I know I don't need a top of the range Mac Pro - same will say I probably don't need one - but don't know what to look at. I use the following apps sometimes all open at once 1. Dreamweaver 2. Photoshop (CS2) 3. Fireworks 4. llustrator 5. Safari / Firefox / Opera 6. Neoffice 7. Cyberduck 8. Parallels running XP whihc has IE6 / IE7 open 9. Adium 10. other little bits and bobs. Thanks for any advice or recommendations, Adam [/QUOTE]
