Default Magma chassis, which one to get?

So, Now when accel cards are selling for nothing I am ready for hd4 or hd5. I need a pcie chassi to put my hd3 and uad-2 card in and hopefully one or two more accel cards.
I am on pro tools 10.3.7 hd, osx 10.8.4 and Mac Pro 2010 hexacore.

I may reconsider buying a PCI chassi instead...the EB7 is expensive...

So which Magma Chassi is working with Mac Pro 2010 and HD PCI cards. Then I can put my UAD-2 card inside the computer and the older HD cards in the chassi, right ?
The older HD cards are still working with 10.8.4 and pro tools 10.3.7 ?

I'd like to know this too...I didn't understand Mac or the HD system much last year and decided the best way I'm going to learn is just jump in get one cheap and figure it out....I got a great deal on a dual G5 setup...LOL....What did I learn?...ALOT drastically changed between 2005 and 2006....I don't mind PT8 and the computer actually has enough power for what I'm doing....The biggest problem I'm having is finding tdm plugins that work....I bought all the Digidesign/Bomb Factory/Joe Meek stuff but anything beyond that is a real dilemma....Either there is no support whatsoever or I'm paying today's prices for bundles and asking for earlier versions that I'd have to turn around and pay again for an "upgrade" version if I update my PPC to an intel box.....I had no idea finding tdm plugs would be that hard....Anyway a chassis seems like my best bet also.....Thanks....moon

PE6R4-I

Means you can put the old PCIX cards in the chassis and keep your UAD PCIe card inside the computer.

PCIX cards still work fine with latest Mountain Lion and latest Pro Tools 10.

i have a magma PE7R

it works great in 7.4 and 8

sittting here and would sell

as i got a PE6R for my PTHD10 with Mac Pro 8 core

also have a G5 sitting here that rocks

to be honest i am not sure i really needed to upgrade but it did

it's nice to have HD6 with a template fully loaded so i can move quickly at the beggining of a session
