I came home one day to find my 6 core Mac pro turned off (I left it on) but there was a weird red light glaring thru the cheese grater coming from the logic board?, and the gpu fan and CPU fan were both on full blast. To make a long story short, tech support said take it to apple store, genius said my CPU died and it will be fixed in 7 days...7 days later I call and they say that they are just going to replace my entire computer... Is it me or is this strange?
Got a tip for us?

sometimes that happens. this is why pulling ram if you had a lot of it is a good idea.
Could be a few reasons:
- Found more things wrong with it, could be cheaper from their end to just give you a new unit (even at bulk, those Xeons aren't cheap).
- Simple customer satisfaction, who hates getting a new computer?
