the inside of the Z800 series looks fine, just get the nostalgic cock out of your mouth for a moment and google it

that said, the current iteration is decently professional but still pretty meh-tier compared to what the next refresh is going to hopefully end up being, the precedent they set with the Z2 looks like the next round of full sized desktops are going to kick ass

It's nice but the hardware in it is 4 years old and they haven't updated it once since 2013.

Meh, I like plain cases myself. I don't really get into the whole "flashy leds" and/or "case windows" thing. A case is there to hold your components, not to be gawked at and that's it. It sits on your floor unnoticed by the user except only to turn it on or to eject/insert a cd and or a usb stick. Really the only time most people take it apart is to clean the inside (rare) or to to upgrades or when something goes wrong.
>>
>>59407887
No it's not. Mac Pro's always have Xeons, ECC RAM and Workstation GPUs (most of the time)...the new one is no exception.

Xeons get updated late with new architecture by Jewtel.

>>59407999
What is it with you people where a case must either be a pretentiously mediocre, boring ass block of featureless aluminum or a tasteless abomination full to the brim with obnoxious LEDs and lights?

Do you realize that it's possible to take pride in your work and have a nice looking, professional end product without impacting use of the system, and in some cases even enhancing it? Minimalism is a cancer on functionality even more than gaymer bogeyman shit.

I just don't like the newer one. Too slim handles, too much of that bleh minimalist aluminium look that gives pretentious impression to me, like somebody got an idea that this shit is special and people should worship it and whatnot, while the plastic-handle one is more playful and laid-back.

To me the newer handlemac probably represents the shitty things about the apple cult in the visuals or something like that.

There is a similarity.

When someone possesses not one noteworthy skill using their hardware, they fill that emptiness inside by decorating the hardware itself.

There's a reason why you rarely find a skilled programmers with a riced out PC. Instead, the get a Dell and get on with their lives.

don't really know what that has to do with what I'm saying but sure, that's a pretty easy conclusion to make, and it "building computers constantly for no reason" isn't really a requirement to give something of a shit about the few you do

I mean everyone has their own definition of what's beautiful. I can understand enjoying the non-flashy forget-it's-there and it's place in certain environments, but as a student in Industrial design I really enjoy the beautiful complexity in an insane rig like the Omen X. Along those lines I agree with you that minimalism can be a detriment to functionality. Apple' s attempt to create the 'perfect' smooth part-line free design has led them to keep removing shit that users actually still use HEADPHONE FUCKING JACK ANYONE.

Out of your ass, making assumptions out of nowhere. Where would it otherwise come from? Projection, of course.

>good, thoughtful and memorable design

You care way too much about how cases look to compensate for your mediocre life.

and you CAN have it both ways. If you want to "sit in quiet pride" and get your mental pat on the back for doing so, you can still turn the led lights off so you don't show off too much. Simple.

Conouter cases have no variety its either gaudy looking tacky cheap looking shit while the higher end cases fade into oblivion or becomes unaffordable to the vast majority because all anyone wants is tackyshit.

How good are those mac pros compared compared to a newer pc? Would it be worth to pick up a 5th gen off craigslist for a few hundred bucks? What can be upgraded internally?

>>59409839
You can upgrade the cpus and change out the graphics card. Ones worth getting are pros with intel cpus
>>
>>59409839
westmere's long in the teeth depending on who you ask, but they wouldn't be bad goers at all so long as you don't pay out the ass, with the slow pace of practical returns on newer generations a dual-processor westmere system can still pack a decent punch for jobs that can utilize them, they'll take plenty of RAM and four disks too, obviously the buses aren't going to be the latest and greatest though

dunno if the other guy is *100%* correct on graphics cards, unless the Intel models changed things. OS X will support anything as long as you've got the proper drivers installed, but the system itself, particularly open firmware, might not fully support the card unless it's got a Mac ROM on it, so you'd always want to keep the original card around if that's the case

Get a 2010, make sure the tray has 2 CPUs.

Then go on eBay and find 2 procs and upgrade.

The downside is single core performance isn't great, but u can get a 12 core beast going that still stands the test of time till today.

Pop in a 980Ti and you're good to go for macOS and Winshit via dual boot.

Yes, it's called target disk mode, but you will not see the boot menu and you have to blind select the partition with left or right key and hit enter.

HOWEVER, they sell 980Ti's on eBay that have Mac EFI firmware and you will see the boot menu with those and it will work as normal in macOS and Windows.

Also some older cards like the 280X work out of the box without any need for drivers.

>>
>>59409477
>I mean everyone has their own definition of what's beautiful.
The golden ratio is deliberately percieved as beautiful by the human brain.
That being said, and besides said ratio, I personally enjoy cleanliness over simplicity. Hard angles look cleaner to me than a lot of the modern day rounded mumbo jumbo. So, while a lot of the lines posted in your pic are straight lines, the elbows and other joints (manifolds, for example) are curved. That feature is unappealing to me. If I could have everything perfectly squared out, I'd actually just do that. But, that has a low chance of actually happening.
