MP 7,1 Mac Pro 7,1 Deals Thread

[MisterAndrew]

Now that the last great Mac Pro has been discontinued there are bound to be some savings. If you find deals post them up. When the 6,1 was discontinued some retailers slashed prices in half. Please feel free to share deals you find about MPX GPUs and other 7,1 hardware & accessories too.

Base refurbished 7,1 is now $4099.

Refurbished Mac Pro 3.5GHz 8-core Intel Xeon W, Radeon Pro 5500X

Say hello to a Mac that is extreme in every way. With the greatest performance, expansion, and configurability yet, it is a system created to let a wide range of professionals push the limits of what is possible.

I think it would be best to purchase one from your country's Apple store. I don't know which country you are in, but I see them in stock in Germany.

 

[Rimmsi]

Thx, i see stock in Austria.

MPX GPUs interest me, particularly the Duo provided it is in Australia. Apple never sells refurb pro products in this country.

Also interested in W3275M.

I want to build mine into a monster that will destroy the 8,1.

Amazon has the W6900X for $3,630. I'm not sure if prices on those will get much better since it's a rare GPU.

Radeon Pro W6900X MPX Module

For the maximum workstation-class graphics and demanding pro applications, choose the AMD Radeon Pro W6900X with 32GB of GDDR6 memory delivering up to 512GB/s of memory bandwidth. You can install up to two in your Mac Pro using Infinity Fabric Link for enhanced multi-GPU performance in applicatio...

I got lucky 1.5 years ago and got the 7,1 28c 32GB 4TB 580X for $6000 in mint condition
I added 192GB RAM, 6900XT OEM and an NVME PCIe drive for Windows and it's been an amazing machine.

All of the lower configurations in the USA refurbished store have sold out. There are still some lower configurations in other countries (e.g. Germany) and on eBay. It may be that good deals on the 7,1 may not last. I think demand might outstrip supply.

MPX module stock seems to be drying up fast. Disappointing.

 

[TrevorR90]

It's kind of troubling to see stock drying up this quick. Is this a sign that people are picking up the 7,1 due to the disappointment of the 8,1?

Im thinking of selling my 7,1 16 core, W5700X, 96gb ram, 1 tb ssd, perfect conditions, but where? i live in México, should i just post it on ebay? i was thinking 5,000 dls, is that fair?

I'll offer my 7,1 delivered late 2022 with W3245 16 core 3.2ghz, W6800X 32GB MPX module, 48GB RAM and 1TB SSD, original boxes, perfect condition for AUD$20,000 second hand... haha. Just kidding, it's going nowhere at the moment.

I think that's exactly what's happening - people are snapping up what's available because the new 2023 model is Pro in name only. I kind of expected this would occur so the W6800X Duo will probably disappear really fast, any W3275M CPUs will also probably become very costly (due to demand).

I expected this might happen hence I got the 7,1 while it was still available. Despite the trolls saying they are "worth nothing, people can't even give them away" - doesn't look like they will be going too cheaply.

Yeah I had a w6900x in my cart on Amazon. A day or two after the announcement, I didn't check out fast enough and they disappeared. It was 40% off too darn it..

I have noticed in UK store, many configs appear from base to high, then disappear after a couple of days.
But come back a few days later.
Keep checking the store for stock....

Check eBay

I really don't know why people that don't have 7,1 already would be snapping one up. Only delaying the inevitable.

Apple Hardware Engineer basically said in Interview that dGPU cards not coming.

Cannot see Nvidia cards coming as they would want to add CUDA Support and Apple wants devs to use Metal, So even if Apple relent and add GPU then will be AMD which doesn't seem to be what the people asking for that want High Memory Limit and GPU's.

When M3 Studio and Pro launch with basically SoC update and more memory then will expect to see flood of repeat threads started with the same subject.

lot of little things - for example, on AS, SwitchResX can’t scale a display above its physical resolution (the workaround is to have hidpi HDMI dummies and scale them down, then mirror, but they use up your monitor allocation), so in my case the cost of an AS machine would include several thousand in monitors as well. *shrug*

Found a w6800x Duo on eBay for around $2k, really happy for this, seems like my W5700x will be looking for a new home soon.

If you're deadset on the DOA 7,1 I suggest buying it local used the cheapest model and upgrading the CPU and RAM and GPU yourself. It's pretty straight forward and not difficult.

I got lucky on mine 2 years ago, its my favorite Mac ever (I've had it all since the late 90s). I got the 28c, 32GB RAM and 580X, 4TB SSD for a low price, I upgraded the RAM to 192GB and GPU to 6900XT OEM and added PCIe cards.
