[QUOTE="Azryael, post: 1631367, member: 340770"] As the title states, I'm looking for an older Mac Pro (one that won't break the bank with the initial cost) that will handle the latest OS X version and work with the latest X Code tools while allowing me to use the machine for my web development, photoshop, and other "productivity needs" Peripherals are not required, as I have a solid monitor as well as mouse/keyboard to be used with this machine. What would be the oldest machine I could go with that would meet these needs? I don't need too much processing power, or a lot of RAM or storage since I run an old Dell Precision 690 as a file server. I've seen the values on ebay really, really vary, and I'm weary of purchasing something like this from a vendor that resells/refurbs these kinds of devices while doing an improper job; however, if a recommendation can be made, I would consider it. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
