>>60310049
I would be interested in buying the case

>>60310413
well shit. i would have never thought i would have bought a mac in my life

>>60310142
what an ugly piece of shit

only if you're buying the 2012 model
not worth it otherwise

>>60310049
>OS X still updated


Are you retarded? Apple killed this piece of shit off ages ago by saying it was "obsolete" ie. planned obsolescence bullshit like they always do

OS X IS NOT UP TO DATE ON THIS YOU DIPSHIT

>>60310363
Why haven't you just updated to the latest release of Mac OS?

Who uses a mac as a workstation anymore? Better to build a hackintosh or a PC for anyone that needs modern features. Apple is a joke.

>>60313337
You can't if you have the first or second gen.
For the 2006 models it's something about having a 32 bit EFI, which 10.7 is the last that will support it.
The 2008 models cant update past 10.11 because apple wants you to buy a new computer.

>>60313941
motherfuckers..

isnt there some community trying to hack it so it can run the latest macos?
it feels like a waste not to do so..

>>60310308
are you fucking 12? wait, of course you are, i'm on /g/

>>60313306
Pretty sure you can install latest macOS on 2010+ models. I have a Hackintosh Sierra running on Xeon X5650.

>>60313984
SSE4.1 is required in Sierra (for no good reason) but I saw something about getting it to work with LGA775/ SSE4.1-less CPUs.

>>60313941
What a fucking joke.

Google "Sierra Patch".
Some newer stuff doesn't work but it's better than nothing working.

>>60310363
Google "SFOTT".
Boot 64-bit OS on 32-bit EFI.
But you should know that, shouldn't you?

>>60313306
>OS X IS NOT UP TO DATE ON THIS YOU DIPSHIT
Shouting doesn't make you right.
A couple of simple patches will have your 10-year old Mac running on Sierra just fine.
Of course, some features that rely on newer hardware won't work but you can't have everything.

>>60319619
>a couple of simple patches

I'm convinced this is some sort of bullshit made up by Macfags so they can pretend their macs aren't planned obsolescence garbage.

So how do these patches work?

Why aren't they well known?

Is it because these patches are complete hacked together mickey mouse bullshit?


I'm genuinely curious

>>60313518
What the hell happened here?

>What the hell happened here?

A shitty Apple product decided to JUST itself.....that's what happened.

>>60320397
Very descriptive of you.

>>60310049
They don't make this one anymore. You can only get the trash can. Sorry :/

>>60310049
Because I don't need a powerful desktop. I use an iMac and ssh into servers for when I need power.

Not him but I dropped apple after my iPhone 6 decided to JUST itself as well. Later found out apple had a serious manufacturing defect on ALL iPhone 6 and 6 Plus devices and then UNIRONICALLY asked me for hundreds of dollars to fix it.

http://dosdude1.com/sierrapatch.html

>>60323608
Stop burning, retard.

I'm genuinely curious about what to look up to find a lot of these.
Or would it be better spending a fuck ton more on a Hackintosh?

>>60320185
>I'm genuinely curious
But nowhere nearly curious enough to Google either of the search terms you were given.
Like SFOTT or Sierrapatch.
Just lay in with the troll brush, wait for someone who knows how to Google does it for you and then silently slip away.

I had a PowerPC one of these. I love how when you turned it on the fans revved like a car engine. I ended up giving it away and keeping the G4 powermac for some chess.

not using one because I currently have a working Core i3 Intel NUC, and when it dies I might consider a refurbished Mac
any advantage to that plan over, for example, some refurbished Dell workstation?

I love its design, but I want my computer in there, not some old ass mac.
