Thanks!
Both are from an aged relative sadly no longer with us (she passed about 30 years ago).
I love them.
Got a tip for us?

I'm sorry to hear that, but it explains the regal energy that comes with it. Thank you for sharing
LMFAO! I love that you included the nightmare beneath lololol
I love analog type guys (or girls). What brand is the reel to reel?
It’s from a company called Grovemade. They make high quality desk accessories, including desk mats in different sizes, colors and textures. Super recommend!
The one I have is the Dark Grey Wool Desk Mat in Size Medium.
The south wing of the premises, and The Tower.
Yooooo I miss seeing people's setups. This was SUCH A FUN THREAD! It's nice to see some new setups every now and again...I love your tri-tower with the old Mac Pros...that's sick!
That's the pain-cave that is getting me back to fitness slowly. That Mac is the one in my signature with the RX6600XT.
Connected with it is a Wahoo Kickr Bike via ANT+ or Bluetooth and a Hisense 55" 4K TV.
I got this Mac second hand from an ad-agency, mainly for its dual CPU tray. Externally it had a few scratches but not broken and it ran. I swapped the dual CPU tray out of it for my good Mac Pro 5,1 (my original one) and put dual X5690s in that. And the pre-owned machine got my original single CPU tray and a X5690.
Both run Samsung SSDs.

My 7,1 and the 6,1 looking tiny.
My original Mac Pro 5,1 from 2010 with its original screen. Now 2x X5690 and also upgraded wifi and Bluetooth. This machine is absolutely pristine.
All on same desk. Of these three I mostly use the 7,1 and 6,1.

Can you do a size comparison between those 3 generations? I'd love to see all three next to each other.
Like this?
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.

‘someone should make a master thread of all these threads. They are so much fun.
