Always curious to see what folks have upgraded their cMPs to... and for some lockdown quarantine shelter-in-place stay at home distraction. Let's post our "About This Mac" screens! I'll start...

sure... but that's kinda like entering a baby and grade schooler in a tattoo show by boomer bikers!🤣

Heh, love the metaphor, but worry not, I can come in. Thankfully, I'm no grade schooler ;). Still in the club. My 5,1 is laying around here somewhere...I'm preserving it now. 🤪
 
After years of tinkering, this is where I am today. I'm pretty much maxed out, though I could still update some of my storage. I would love to add a Highpoint 7101A. I'm pretty proud of my machine, it is a workhorse and serves me well every day.

My 4,1 now a 5,1. Still running High Sierra because Nvidia. Used every single day for my work in Cinema 4D, Photoshop , After Effects, Zbrush, and some general graphic design work. Pretty sure this is the longest I've owned a single piece of tech, bought in 2009 and still my workhorse.

Here is my InDesign/Photoshop/Illustrator beast. No high-end upgrades, but fulfills the purpose.
(h9826790: dual-processor tray in your picture, but with W3690 only single in real...)

Here's my work machine. Handles 4K video in FCP X like it's nothing. Now to find a dual tray that doesn't cost more than the whole machine. Mine is also loaded down with HDDs, SSDs, an NVME and mSATA card, a bluetooth and wifi upgrade, a Blu-Ray burner, and a USB 3.0 PCIe card.
