[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1546984, member: 56379"] I sure hope that the power supply was removed before the powder coating is baked on!;) Unless the new chassis didn't come with a power supply. Understandable. Nothing wrong with a dual-boot Mac Pro. I was just thinking that things might have been getting a bit complicated by having to source a sound card. I guess after the detailed background you mentioned for this computer...is this computer yours (fee to upgrade & sell)...or is it really your bosses computer? Are you talking about the Mac Pro we have been talking about in this thread? Or are we talking about a different Mac Pro for your own personal purchase & ownership? You seem to know your way around e-Bay...so e-Bay is probably your best place to shop. To get a better idea of the various generations of Mac Pro's...check out this site: [url=http://www.everymac.com]Mac Specs, Prices, Answers & Comparison @ EveryMac.com, Est. 1996[/url] ...and of course check out the specs for the various models...and compare this to what you see on e-Bay. Another good website to get ballpark (fair-values) of used Mac Pro's is: [url=http://www.mac2sell.net]Mac2Sell - Argus, Evaluation, Guide to used Mac, iPad, iPad mini, iPhone & iPod - Occasion[/url] Don't forget. A brand new Mac Pro model is supposed to be released in December (first true redesigned Mac Pro in a long time). And with this release...it's possible that the prices of used older design Mac Pros could be affected (maybe...maybe not). Hope this helps...good luck in your search.:) - Nick p.s. Once you read up a bit on the details at Everymac.com...and you are more familiar with things. Personally I would recommend getting a Mac Pro model 4,1 (2009 era). FYI...the Mac Pro you currently have is a 1,1. I don't know if any Mac Pro 4,1's will be in your price range. I think that they're the best value for the money at the moment (I also used to have one)!:) [/QUOTE]
