    I tell you not to waste your time with this seller, he holds an auction and after weeks of bidding, he won the auction and when you go to pay he cancels the sale, wasting your time and especially the illusion of having won later waiting weeks. Sellers like this hurt the eBay marketplace and your auctions, if you don't want to sell for what auction? is the question I ask myself. I give it 5 stars, one is not enough!

    2008 Mac Pro 3, 1 1186

    This was one of Apple’s highest achievements in the computer world at the time and by far is still a cream of the crop. It is sturdy built and ease of accessibility to components inside the computer made it my favorite. Of course, the overall technology has changed, but these are still great computers even with certain upgrades to date. The design speaks for itself for the casing material and craftsmanship. It’s not to be under estimated for the process speed is quick and very quick when upgraded to SSD. I definitely enjoyed it!!!

    Bang for the buck!

    Very affordable Mac. This 2008 Mac Pro still runs everything! Upgrading parts is very affordable as well. Load this up with 16GB (can use 32GB total) for smoother operation. It is also a very handsome machine to show off. The older Mac Pro's were very well engineered with thought and care for longevity and forward thinking. I highly recommend this machine (2008-2012 editions) for productivity. Gaming on these is not recommended due to lack of Direct X suite. I bought mine for music production and music related usage. I paid 325 USD plus shipping. I am very satisfied. Despite the age, this is a very adequate machine for my needs. It has server grade parts and this is why these machines last. I'm running OSX El Capitan and I don't have all the maintenance required by a Windows OS. If you ...

    Mac Pro early 2008

    I receive the item well packed (styrofoam peanuts a little messy as always) and in perfect condition. The machine is very clean with only a slight scratch on the side which was in the pictures when listed. It started up perfectly, runs quietly, and a password was attached to the top of the machine printed bold-large type. I have this machine and mine is on its last legs so I wanted a replacement to keep using old hardware on. I couldn't be more satisfied.

    A winner for me!

    The only drawback is the bluetooth. The machine is fast (even faster with the 32 gig memory upgrade, and it will be faster yet if I decide to upgrade to an ssd base drive and use the scsi as a data drive). The scsi card is as informed ... errors ... but the drive works very well. I'll try to find the parts I need to rework the scsi card but it's not necessary.

    They don't make them like this anymore

    This thing is a tank! It is big and can be a little loud at times. It is beautifully crafted and powerful. Even after all these years I decided to buy one recently. I run Mac OS 10.4 on it and plan on porting some open source games. If you do decide to buy it remember that it is very big and heavy. I would avoid leaving it on the floor because chairs can damage its wonderful finish. It is very upgradeable. I only needed to upgrade the storage. A SSD will make this computer fly!
