Hard to say but you could put your new money out and get ready to buy a new Mac Pro.

Yeah after I hear his comments, I was looking at Hackintosh computer. Base on my customizing, it cost less than $2000 but the spec and performance is way better. I just concern about the OS stability and parts compatibility. Other than those, it would be a great choice. Save money live better, Hackintosh.

I really feel that Apple charge too much money on each mac and parts which is very unacceptable.

Unacceptable but you do want to stay updated with tech right? If not, cMP would do.

Stay updated with tech? Apple is being behind if you know about Apple. MP is not enough to run programs smoothly with large files. That's why I need a desktop computer.

Tb3 is outdated? I don't know what you do for living but nMP is efficient for music and video content. It's either you roll with Apple or get left behind.

Edit: I meant to say tb2.. But upcoming would be tb3

So what do you want? Z1 workstation?
As someone mentioned hackintosh. But of course your concern was stability of os.

Well to be honest, OS X become unstable since OS X Yosemite came out that I experienced freezing issues so many times.

What do you think your option would be?
Based on availability at this time and of course money part?

Yes you do but like with all things read first, think second, talk third.

I have upgraded to just about every new release of OS X within a day or two of release for as long as I could remember and have never experienced freezing. Plus, I haven't done a clean install of OS X on my Mac Pro in about a decade.

Same here, never had issues with my Mac's (Mac Pro running full release within 2 days of release/MacBook Pro running dev. preview within 12 hrs)

freezing might be something like low ram, HD problems (bad sectors and page files?) etc

the 4.1/5.1 can run the equivalent of something like a i7 970/980x which is something like 4 gens old, you can run some/most PC gpu's with a few bugs but it works (but not the new ones yet).
if you can pick one up cheep then there worth a look but id think twice if the price is high, if you do look at one give it a good check for problems.

The imacs are worth a look, nice displays
ps only 2x 6pin for gpu without extra work

Exactly I've been running OS X since the beta version yes some issues but never had the OS lock up this safari 9.1.1 is real buggy

I, too, have been using OS X since the 10.0.0 Beta version. I never did like Safari (can't remember when it debuted), and, as a consequence, I use FireFox which I've been using on my Macs since it was Mosaic back when it was developed at the University of Illinois. I occasionally try Safari (when I update to the latest OS X at the 10.x.3 update) but I'm still not impressed enough to use it.
