Picked this Bad Boy up SAT for $500.00. This thing is a BEAST!!!!!!!!!
MacPro Mid 2010 (12 core)

- 2 x3.46 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon

- 128 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

- Radeon RX 570 8 GB Graphics Card

- 3 1TB HDD and 1 500GB HDD

- USB 3.0 Expansion Card (4 Ports)

- Mac OS: Mojave 10.14.6

- 4 drive sleds for SSD
 
Yep, that's a pretty good deal for a 12-core with those specs (I bought my Quad-Core in 2021 for $330 with 16 GB of ram and a 1 tb spinner).

You should upgrade to Big Sur or Monterey through OCLP, that'll get you more out of it.

May want to do thermo paste while your at it. 2 months after i had mine up and running temps went crazy. Read that after 10 years its a good idea to repaste. Great deal on that system BTW.
