New Mac Pro twinges?
This looks promising (and beefy):
And then there’s this:

But who really knows, aside from Tim Cook, what their plans are.

It says on Tonymac – “Sapphire is presenting a HD 7950 at the Cebit fair for MacPro Computer in a “Mac like” design:”
I think that just means they put a flashy cover plate on it. (Not a ‘Flashy’ cover plate, obviously.)
For those who must have a MacPro, Tonymac also has –

Well those who use FCPX MUST have a Mac Pro, so this is good news

Bernard was pointing out the alternative. Other than the slightly less legal aspect of buying OS X and installing it on non Apple hardware, I have had no problems with my “Hack Pro”. It stomps the 2008 Mac Pro I had. Side note, I sold the Mac Pro for twice what this one cost to build.
And it works amazingly with Final Cut Pro X. (It has two Thunderbolt ports!)

Ah, you must have gotten the same motherboard I am eying!

Yeah, but do they work? 😉

Yes! They do in fact. The only issue is no hot swap. Since the system boots in 30 seconds, it’s not a problem.

I, for one, am curious about the rest of the system.
What’s in it, how much did it cost, how was the setup, and how’s it performing?

I’d like more info on this as well.
Thanks! -
This? What CPU? It’s i7 at best, not Xeon which is what a MacPro has always been.
https://event.asus.com/2012/mb/P8Z77_Series_Motherboards/Thunderbolt_landing.htmSans Xeon it seems more like something between an iMac and a MacPro rather than a MacPro. Of course even that would probably beat the current MacPro with its ancient Xeons.
