We have some used apple hardware in which the lease is up relatively soon.
I can score a beefy Mac Pro tower and a cinema display for about $1600.
Any thoughts/feedback about the price and hardware?
FYI asking price for comparable, newer hardware from apple is $2900-3500 for a Mac Pro tower alone...

And you're asking if you should go for it? Sounds like a great deal.

Is the $1600 setup good enough for what you're doing?
A new Cinema display will run $800 (LED 24"), just to put the loot in perspective if you're sticking with Apple hardware...

Yeah, I have the cash to drop but it would deplete my current savings. Just trying to justify the cost.
I have a PC tower that is pretty beefy at home that i'm going to try and sell off. I also have a macbook pro that is great but is starting to show it's age.
Speaking of the PC tower ... anyone interested?
Dual 3ghz Intel Xeon
2gb Ram
500gb hdd
256mb nvidia video card
Soundblaster sound card (forget which model)
Will throw in a few other goodies - extra hdd and a 19" lcd monitor
Asking Price: $400Would probably make an excellent server or whatnot. I used it for a lot of design work while i was in school.
