So what about a Windows solution? We actually have some Windows boxes in our facility and I’ve never been opposed to using the Windows platform. All in all, the lack of upgradability with these new black Mac Pros has always been a big red flag.
The Thunderbolt integration is fantastic (something I wish the Mac Pro tower could do), but even the Trashcan’s thunderbolt has limits with regard to using a PCIe expansion chassis. But frankly, I’ve always been a fan of Nvidia cards, so the ATI cards aren’t a selling point for me. Yes, those dual ATI cards pack a punch… for the time being. The lack of PCIe slots is a big problem for us, as are the non-upgradable graphics cards. The next problem was the lack of upgradability in these little black cylinders. The last time I dropped $10,000 on a computer workstation was back around 1996 on a Daystar Genesis MP800+ (a quad 200Mhz CPU Mac clone, at a time when clone makers were running performance circles around Apple). For starters, the configuration I’d need (want) would be upwards in the $10,000 zone. But like many people, I was hesitant to jump on board. When the Mac Pro Trashcan was announced in 2013, I was pretty impressed with how much power was crammed in such a small package. Is this silver cheese grader of old still worthy of such a task?
