Hi all,

I have come to the point that the wife asked me to make a decision.
Having a couple of mac's around (see thinks to many) I have been thinking of doing the following.


I now have a rMBP 2012 15 (2,6ghz 16gb ram 256 ssd) and a Mac Pro 2,1 (2x 3ghz 8 core 32gb ram HD 7950 3GB - multiple ssd and hdd)

I have been considering selling the Mac Pro and buying the developer egpu set from Apple.

Whats your idea of this? Would you do it? Why? Why not?

Thanks!
 
You could turn the Mac Pro into a Linux machine.

I hear it's gotten really good these days. Definitely better than Windows, anyway.
 
Sell the 2,1 and buy a 5,1, and put whatever graphics card you want inside the box. No net new computer, no issue with spouse :)
