Just taken the plunge and decided to go for a Mac Pro over my current desktop, sick of Vista and random crashes etc. And the option of parallels or Fusion really makes the Mac a viable alternative for me now (for gaming i have a XPS M1730 that will suffice)
Couple of questions if i may.
My Pioneer BD drive 'died' on my pc a couple of days and I replaced it with one of the excellent LG BD/HD-DVD combo drives. Now i've seen a few people mention on here that you can remove the front bezel to get it into the Mac to replace the super drive. One thing im unsure of is if the current range of superdrives are PATA or SATA? I've located a SATA/PATA converter I can get but just wanted some clarification on this.
If you're interested I went for the Dual 3.0Xeon, 2Gb RAM (not paying Apple's prices to upgrade, will take this to 8Gb) and a 320Gb HDD (I'll replace this with a couple of Raptors!)
