I am looking to upgrade from a 2.16 C2D 24" iMac that been fixed for it's last time and I am tired of opening up that darn iMac case. I found a deal for a 2.66 Quad Mac Pro 1,1 (2GB, 250GB, 7300GT) for $1399 and I am wondering if this might be a good deal. I don't want to get another iMac cause of the upgrade/fix headaches with the all-in-one. Also, don't feel like spending like $2500 on a new Mac Pro.
Normal uses would include my wife on Photoshop/Quark/Illustrator all at once cause she hates closing them. I spend most of of time in Aperture and Handbrake while listening to iTunes and surfing Safari. So needless to say we don't need a huge workhorse, just looking to get away from the white monoloth sitting on my desk.
I know right off the bat I want to upgrade the RAM and go to a TB hard drive but other than that I know it'll be a huge upgrade from what we are currently working on. Just not sure if it's a big enough upgrade for the cost.
Any thoughts?? Thanks in advance.
