Mac Pro box comes home

Cue Jaws theme: we chose the Mac Pro, and not because other Mac models lacked power. Our big problem was that gulker.com’s World HQ was (literally) built around the tower form factor, we have to drive multiple monitors (iMacs will only drive one via DVI) and, yes, it’ll be fun to have a freakishly fast computer. The beach ball will spin soooo fast…

    I managed to raise the funds, and convinced my wife to let me, get a quad core mac pro. This machine is just wonderful! I use dual screens, the main for surfing / world of warcraft, and the second for solaris, windows xp, windows 2003 server ( all using vmware fusion).

    Seriously love my quad. I wish I had the funds to get the 8 core but a single income with a stay at home wife + 2 kids squashes that!

    [...] So, we’ve been slowly getting the new Mac Pro together: I ordered RAM from Other World Computing ($350 vs. around $2,000 from Apple), moved over the hard drives from my former imaging workstation (now Linda’s computer), downloaded vital updates and software and otherwise been provisioning the new machine. Tomorrow we’ll do the (for me) hard stuff: get on the floor and get all the cables et al connected. [...]
