My HP is officially kicked to the curb & my house is now Mac-a-licious!!!
This MacPro moves like a knife through hot butter & it is coming in handy because I usually have at least 5 programs running at once (Photoshop, Parallels, DreamWeaver, Illustrator & Adobe Bridge), not to mention Mail, iTunes & Fire Fox. Yes, I’m a serious muti-tasker & having 2 19” monitors mos def helps!
The only thing that suffered during my total transition to the Mac platform was my Canon flatbed scanner (Canoscan NI2140U), which is 7 years old. It does not work with the new Mac OS, which I found out during a 25 minute call to Canon customer service. So off to Best Buy, I “had” to run for a replacement (Canoscan LiDE 600F). The funny thing is that, my old scanner outlived 4 PC’s & at least 3 printers.
OK, OK, I know you are bored so this will be the last toy photo that I post in a while. They are just so easy & fun to shoot & best of all, they don't talk back!

I was curious, so even before I hooked up my new Mac Pro, I opened it up to see what things looked like. It'll never be this clean again.
New to me, Mac Pro 5,1
Fairly well spec'ed considering its age, mid 2012.
I've had the case at the rear of the first picture for a while. I still intend to convert it to an ATX PC build when I have the time.

MacPro2,1 next to MacPro5,1.
The Mac Pro on the left is a 2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon. The Mac Pro on the right is a 2 x 2.4 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon with a 512GB Apple SSD, making it the most powerful in our studios when the picture was taken. Core and Accel cards for Pro Tools HD have been switched into the new one. They're a tight fit.
The logic board finished in matt black on the new one is rather swish, though I have no idea what 'BIG FRANK' and 'LITTLE FRANK' do; but they're labelled.
