Mac Pro 1,1 Question

[Lil Chillbil]

The storage capacity issue is hardly closed. Externals at USB 3.0 are faster than the SATA 2 inside the 1,1. The monitor difference qualifies as a very niche requirement that would involve an extremely significant investment in an old machine. The only point that matters is, given the specs of the current mini vs the old pro is that it's not really a sound investment to spend an arm and a leg on a 1,1. Particularly given the fact that much newer mac pros can be had for prices on ebay that are relatively cheap and that many parts are significantly cheaper for the newer pro than the older pro(the ram being the classic example).

I am not disagreeing with your statement at all, I was just simply pointing out that the pro 1,1 is very much capable of more storage internally instead of all that bull of external hdds. You can just keep on plugging in tons of external usb and firewire drives to the mac minis usb and firewire ports, but with the pros pci slots you can plug in tons more on the pro with 2x as many drive bays than any mini the pro will always win for storage

Don't worry bout it he's fixated on the SATA3/USB3/Processor. He won't be convinced otherwise.
