       A trash can Mac Pro seems like an excellent buy right now to use as a nice office Linux machine.

       @thomholwerda until everyone watches @ActionRetro 's video and prices skyrocket…

       @mmu_man @ActionRetro Yes my heart sank a little when Sean published that video. Gotta be quick to find one before the Retro YouTuber Effect sets in. 😂

       @thomholwerda If noise is not an issue, old servers are a better choice. Or a Huananzi motherboard with a Xeon and plenty of ECC memory.

       @zbrando I've got a modern dual Xeon board in my workstation. It's fun.

       @zbrando It was always my dream to have a dual processor machine. Cheap new hardware from China made it reality. 😂

       @thomholwerda @zbrando I have a BeBox but it's not really useful as a server these days 😅 As for Xeon, you can mod things like an Optiplex to use one:https://linustechtips.com/topic/363422-how-to-using-a-lga-771-xeon-in-a-lga-775-motherboard-aka-771-mod/I did that here and it works fine…

       @mmu_man yeah I know of these mods and I think I have a Socket 775 compatible.

       @mmu_man But these days a Q9550 is only a little slower but cheaper and more energy efficient. ☺️

       @zbrando but less fun and less finger slicing…
