And here's the About This Mac from the computer I'm currently using-one that's been on my want list for a LONG time

And just as I was thinking of being the first to post a screenshot of 10.11 on this thread. Oh well, I can take being second
My three main Macs. The 2013 Mac Pro is my main machine and what I do most of my video editing on. It's the bone stock model, save for the additional 4GB of RAM I installed after I bought the machine (official Apple/Micron DIMM to match the rest, $30 on eBay vs $100 from Apple) and I'm currently looking into a 512GB SSD. Was bought refurbished from Apple in February of this year. (Note that I have San Francisco set as my font, that's why it shows up really weird). The 2012 Mac Pro is actually a 2009 that I upgraded. I went into a PLIST file and edited it so it would show up as a 2012. Found this machine completely stripped at a recyclers for $40 and rebuilt it and upgraded it from then to earlier this year. Currently serves as my backup machine.
Finally, there is my laptop. I owned a late-2013 dGPU MacBook Pro 15" Retina, but after it died multiple times due to GPU problems (which the two machines that preceded it also had within a year of ownership) I returned its replacement for a gift card and bought the 2013 Mac Pro. I needed a portable machine, so I bought this machine the following month because I wanted an i5/i7 machine at minimum. It's a bone stock late-2011 13" MBP. Overall the machine is actually really nice, just wish it was a bit faster for on-the-go video editing. When I got it a few months ago, the owner still had Lion installed and the original hard drive. As soon as I got it I put in a spare 250GB SSD I had it my Mac Pro, then last month I upgraded the RAM. Currently runs El Capitan Beta 3 (which I just saw is labeled as '10.11 Beta' under version number now).

Was recently given this 2010 Mac Mini as a gift from my best friend. Came with the stock 2GB RAM and 320GB hard drive; I put in a 120GB SSD I had laying around, and my dad bought me an 8GB DDR3 kit. Can't beat a free, fully-upgraded Mac! Installed Yosemite on it, and now it's my first ever Mac with a current version of OSX. I plan to use it as my daily machine for non-gaming (will still keep my custom-built PC for gaming and heavy-duty stuff, of course), and once I buy a Firewire-800 enclosure, it will also host my media over the network from a 2TB drive (that drive is currently in a desktop, which is not the most efficient or quiet to keep on 24/7).
My new Mac... pretty bog standard but it flies after my old 1GB mini!
Are you using Flavours? I quite like that theme.My new Mac... pretty bog standard but it flies after my old 1GB mini!
Thank you. I plan to buy Flavours soon and look forward to exploring what it can do.
This one took a surprising amount of effort to get...I've been working on it for about a month. An EFI-compatible video card from MacVidCards was what-I think-made all the difference at least in my being able to get to this point.
