Found a 2009 Mac Pro upgraded, little help ASAP

[Kraniac]

I just looked at an upgraded 2009 Mac Pro
6 core Xeon 3.46ghz
32 gig of ram
512k
nVidia gt120
1T hardrive

Guy was asking $870 and he stopped at $750.

Help, does this feel high for a 2009 upgraded to its current specs??


I'm in a parking lot waiting for you guys

: )

Meh. Based on ebay, doesn't seem like a steal at $750. Fair, but not great.

Already 8 years old, I'd hold off. But, that's just me... trust ye gut instinct. I think.

[Kraniac]

I'm feeling that too but he's also offered to backpedal it to 10.6
For me, which I need. I'd prefer to pay less tho

Anyone else??

What's my target?

Yeah, mentioned that to him. But, I've been pretty much looking at
2010 machines so

Hold off for what? Apple to make an expandable machine again? We'll have to wait for Jonny Ive to overdose on dongles first.

I'd go by what they sell for on ebay. Price seems pretty average from my recollection of a few months ago.

Just checked EBay and most of these comparable
Machines are selling for more
Are there'd any upgrade kits that are shaky?
Should I ask him what kind of kit he used?
Memory to look out for?

The price seems fair. Do you want the bargain or do you want the computer?

I've heard that the 3.46 processors run very hot. I'd probably go for a 3.33, in fact most likely will, when it's time to get another Mac Pro. Otherwise the price is not bad, with 32GB of RAM.

Anyone have any comments on the 3.46ghz heat issues?
