I am considering selling my Mac Pro after several years of faithful service. I am working more out of home so I am finding I use my MacBook Pro much more often now, or the studios' own Mac Pro system when working with them.
I am hoping it to be worth something still as it has been cared for and upgraded with bits and pieces of the years. I used to have it in an office for a TV show in the UK where it was probably the oldest machine, but still the fastest.
Here are the specs:
I also still have the old Apple RAID card that came with the machine, not sure if thats worth anything?
I wonder if this will sell at all, considering its an old machine with lots added to it to bring it up to speed, where you could probably get all this built in to a new system.
