OT: This iMac or this Macpro?

[Olivier Prudhomme]

Thanks for taking the time to reply but I”m not tech savvy I guess and you lost me there sorry…. CPU GPU SATA PCies….

I edit professionally promos at work and I do side jobs from home: FCP 7, AE, AVID, one day PProCC I’m sure.
My side jobs are not consistent enough to pay for a $2000 computer.
This is why I am exploring computers in the $1400 range.

to close the thread and in case someone had the same dilemma as I did:

I went for a used 2008 macpro. 256Gb SSD drive, 1Tb 7200rpm and 3Tb 5400.
Dual vid card.

SOld my 2009 mbp for $450
$600
$150 investment

I LOVE it!!!!
