The 5,1 and 7,1 are nearly identical in size, just that the 7,1 is maybe very slightly less tall. The 6,1 is obviously way smaller. The 7,1 case cover is very, very heavy to lift and is a very tight fit.
Inside the 6,1 is jammed full of components, no more room left for anything else. The 5,1 and 7,1 might be externally similar size, but the 7,1 is far smarter inside - much more room to upgrade. It only has one CPU, while the 5,1 has to make room for two of them.
Of them all, the 7,1 has greatest impression of quality. Serious thought went into the design of that machine. The 6,1 is quite scary to pull apart, you end up with a desk full of computer parts and no computer anymore.
Out of them all, the 6,1 is still relatively fast and you can take it with you, it is not heavy. Even with my injuries I can carry it about in a bag.
The other two are not portable at all - they are equally heavy. With the 5,1 Apple deserves credit for creating a machine that still serves so many people and is able to be upgraded far beyond what was originally intended. The 7,1 takes what the 5,1 did well and does it better. And just subjectively I think it looks amazing sitting on the desk, it is beautiful modern design.

Clean because the walls are freshly painted! Makes a huge difference getting rid of the ugly old beige 80s style paint.
Really like your lava lamp, I haven't seen one in a long time. You need a nixie tube clock
Been a while over here...I wonder who has done any updates to their battle stations I added a new piece of kit to mine, but as I'm currently on a project, I haven't had a chance to clean up since it's been installed...will update once I do though
Is it too much of a mess to see right now? Please post some pix for sure when it's done! Sounds awesome!I’m in the middle of a huge rewiring to install my 7,1 in a cupboard (after reinforcing the shelf) with all 3 displays on 7.5m displayport cables to my desk. Cupboard also has my photography drybox, a 2009 A/V mini, and a temp NAS 2012 mini, while I get all the data sorted from the decommissioned 4,1/5,1. Plan is for the NAS mini to stay on High Sierra, and inherit the Time Machine backups & data management (Hazel Workflows etc) from the old High Sierra cMP, until I can get a Synology solution for it. The fresh Ventura 7,1 won’t have any local storage for files.
If we don’t sell the house soon, I suspect I might end up putting an Aircon zone into the top of the cupboard, so I can temperature control it.
I like the woven cable protectors. They come in several sizes and you can easily combine and hide plenty of cables.Cable management is mostly under control but I could not figure out a good option to "channel" the cables from the desk to the drawer. The cable length varies greatly between drawer closed and open. Until I get a USB-C monitor that can be connected with one cable, there is no way around channeling the HMDI + USB-A + USB-C cross from the desk to the drawer. Any ideas and improvements are welcome.
Well, its clean enough to see now - taking a break after wrestling with three 7.5m displayport cables for a day, trying to figure out which one best connects with which display. Tomorrow, the desk gets some attention.Is it too much of a mess to see right now? Please post some pix for sure when it's done! Sounds awesome!
Is that clock in the corner (6:54) an old smartphone?
This is VERY cool I'm currently updating my setup as well. Will post when it's finishedMy home setup, mind you that the 7,1 underneath is now in my living room.
Already changing it up again so an updated setup will be on here very soon!
