Over the last 6 months I have had a lot of fun upgrading a mac pro 1.1 which I purchased 2nd hand. I ended up with a 2.66 Octo, 20GB RAM, Blu Ray, SSD and 3 fast internal drives. I also added a radeon 5770 graphics card which ran my 2 apple cinema displays (which I still have). My friend was looking for a good spec machine and I sold my little project.

I am now a bit stuck as to what to do. I am an amateur photographer who also likes to dabble in video who also has an extensive media collection and I really want another mac pro. My only other mac is a 17" 2008 MBP which has the old dvi out and does not fit the 24" ACDs.

I had hoped the new mac pros would be released this side of Xmas but this now looks unlikely. As I see it I have 3 options, 1. Get another old mac pro Nd also buy a radeon 5770 card then sell when the new machines come out or 2. Get one of the current spec mac pros, question is which one odd 3. Wait

Any advice welcome
