I've been meaning to get the Mac Mini but it seems to be loaded with problems.
At the same time the 2013 Mac Pro seems fairly stable.

So my question, should I get a 2013 Mac Pro, I need to put my computers on the other side of a wall from the keyboard and mouse.
With that in mind I was wondering if I could still use the bluetooth keyboard, mouse and trackpad?
I'm pretty sure the bluetooth signal won't make it through.

Is there a way to somehow get the bluetooth signal into the other room?

As a side note, I'm not particularly interested in the new 2019 Mac Pro because I think we can all assume they will cost a lot more than a good condition 2013 on eBay.
Plus....who knows what problems Apple will introduce this time. So given their track record I'm not holding my breath. Normally I wouldn't mind waiting. This is their own doing.
 
By the way, never mind my question.
I've been using Macs since the 80's (laptops and desktops) and I decided to go with Windows this time.
With prices like these - below - it's hard not to.
There is simply no comparison.
As to the longevity, I personally own a 2009 HP Workstation that I use every day (next to Mac desktops too) and although tired it's never missed a beat.....ever.

Here's what I'm talking about:
