Hi guys! I just wanted to know your thoughts on this ad in compusa.

I'm a film student and I've already worked on some local productions and I'm looking in to doing my own. I already have a nice mini dv cam and a second hand 2006 macbook pro(core duo, not C2D). I was thinking of picking up this 2006 Mac Pro.
I know its old, but its in my budget and I own some spare ram and hhd i could throw in it. The reason I'm keen on getting this particular product from compusa is that I live in puerto rico and getting things shipped here is impossible. And even if it does ship, the cost of shipping usually falls under international shipping which is quite expensive.
So my question is this, is it worth investing in this machine to do my own short movies, eventually features or should I work on my 15in macbook until I can afford an i7 imac or whatever new mac pro comes out? I dont think Final Cut pro would run very well on my current machine.
Please let me know what you think and many thanks in advance!
