About 2 months ago I bought a 2010 Mac Pro 2 X 2.93GHz (12-Cores) Xeon 1TB 32GB MC561LL/A-BTO + B Grade from isellimac on eBay. Paid about $1225 shipped. Its was sent in a Mac Pro box and arrived promptly. The only issue is although all 8 RAM slots have RAM sticks (4GB each), when it boots a little popup screen says the RAM slots are not populated in order, and it only sees seven of the eight sticks. I guess either one stick or one slot is bad.
That is VERY common in CPU swaps when the processor isn't seated correctly you lose a slot of ram. Are you sure it is a legit 2010 Mac Pro 2x2.93 and not a 2009 flashed to a 2010 with those CPUs installed?
I would have sent that machine right back to them.
