Sigh. It was a hardware design that would have made much more sense now that Apple will control CPU & GPU development. And it also needed at least one overhaul/update/refinement over its lifetime. Far easier to fit in a moving vehicle!
 
I completely agree. I owned one for about six years and it was a workhorse. It did run hot and it had limits for upgrading. But at only half the price of the current Mac Pro, it now seems like a bargain.
