This thing is a monster: four cores, four drives, and capacity for 12GB of RAM. While I’m drooling over the specs for the Mac Pro, I’m still glad I purchased a refurbished dual G5 earlier this year for $1299, since the Adobe (Macromedia) software I depend on still isn’t native.

The specs on this beast make me think two things: it might be too much boat for my needs, and it also might be too much bucks for my wallet. I’m a big fan of buying one generation old, and saving on the cost. The hardware goes obsolete fast enough, and it’s not like I’m doing high-end video work where performance equals time and money.

But still – when I see one of these things in the refurbished section of the Apple Store in a few years for under $1500, it’s going to be hard to resist. Especially if I can load it up with 1TB drives for my expanding music collection.
