Mac Pro 06/07

Is buying a used 2006/2007 Mac Pro a good idea for Photoshop? What's the best model to buy on eBay used? Thanks.

The best buy for most purposes is the 2009 single-processor model.

Reasons?

Reasons?

1.) Very nearly the same as the 5,1 (firmware can be upgraded)
2.) Lots of processor upgrades available
3.) Fully supported by latest versions of OS X
4.) Faster PCIe slots

Just a much better value overall for not much more initial cost.

True. What should I do?

If that MacPro will suit your needs, then you will need to find one.
