[QUOTE="Azryael, post: 1632078, member: 340770"] I've assumed as much given that I haven't actually read anything significant on the issue, perhaps just another ugly rumor to turn folks off from Macs all together. I am much more familiar with the older bodies, as well as even older machines such as the G3 and G4 which we used extensively in our video editing classes back in high school before getting the Intel-based 5400 Mac Pros in early 2008 (MacPro 3,1) and they were fantastic machines. More than up to the task of what we needed them for back then, and that pretty much first started my desire to own one myself. It is indeed a bit of a struggle when it comes to looking for exactly what I want for the right price. As someone who also enjoys tinkering on cars and what not, finding the right project or parts car for the right price is always something I'm battling with. I feel a 2012 model is probably going to be exactly what I want, what I'm researching now is the price point I want to purchase at. If they're on a downward trend, it may serve me to wait several months and purchase then. It's rather funny, because someone sold a 2012 Mac Pro optioned out to the teeth with cinema display for $400!!! Screenshots verified the specs and all as well as the release date. Someone either didn't know what they had, or they just wanted it gone. Needless to say, the seller replied that the machine sold within the first hour of listing! Someone got a serious deal. [/QUOTE]
