Mac server HDX
I been looking into buying an HDX system. I've seen a mac quad core with 8gbs. This particular Mac is a server. I'm thinking it shouldn't matter, but does any one know, if the server versions of these mac's work just as well with HDX systems? Has anyone been successful with this?

Re: Mac server HDX
are you taking the 1ru X-Serve or a Mac Pro with the server software
former, I wouldn't there noisy and deep later, should be OK

Re: Mac server HDX
This one is a mac tower not a rack unit. Not sure if that's what your asking. Which one are you saying is noisy?

Not sure what you mean by "with the server software

Re: Mac server HDX
the X-Serve that is 1 rack unit (ru) high has fans that whine very loudly to move enough air through them
the Mac Pro is much quieter by comparison

Re: Mac server HDX
So if the server is the tower version, is it the same as having a regular tower version of the mac. Is there an advantage of one over the other?

Re: Mac server HDX
Check the Mac's model/year
Should have a 5,1 4,1 3,1 Also check the HDX system as well as which version of Pro Tools requirements for OS Versions and other specifics.

Re: Mac server HDX
Had a friend who bought a "great deal" Mac which turned out to be a server, and he had nothing but problems. Server OS is different then standard Mac OS from what I've heard.
Just my two cents ...... |
