I guess this is more or less a tribute post, to probably my most loved Mac I've ever owned. It has trudged on and on like a trooper and never quits. I wish that Apple would take a note out of their own playbook and make another Mac Pro that can be as upgradable as the 5,1 was. I would argue that the 5,1 was better for the environment than many current ones (minus the insane power hunger it has).

I'm probably moving to an m-series Mini since I no longer need the power I used to. The mini uses less power maxed out than the 5,1 uses while sleeping...

Unless Apple pulls a serious 180 and releases a Mac Pro for the rest of us normal users.

Specs are in this listing:
