So today I finally got the last piece to get my Mac Pro going, the ATI Radeon HD 5770. I bought the official Apple card, because the flashed one I got on eBay arrived half dead. It runs perfectly, and now I'm going to make some videos while I still have access to my Final Cut Trial for the next 28 days. Not so surprisingly, the Apple card actually gets a higher GeekBench score versus the flashed card.
I also got an SSD and made sure to enable TRIM and its working beautifully. Next thing I'm going to look for is an 8-core processor tray. I'm going back to place I bought it from this Tuesday, so I hope that maybe they have one.
I also have bragging rights since I'm the first one in my family to ever own a Mac Pro!
