So when you take a trashcan and lay it out it costs about $7500.00
Now these new MAC Pro's and their price seem good in comparison.
My Cheese Grater Macs cost $5K in 2012.
They have lasted 7 years so far.
If we take the cost based on 250 days a year of work, divided by
7 years it costs less than $2.86 a day!
It makes the new Macs and the flexibility and power look that more
attractive!
Plus, they are going to make a rack mount version, so that will be nice. Hopefully it's not too much extra./Users/protools12s/Desktop/MAc Pro Rack.png
