I notice they've now added the "Mac Pro Server" version to the Apple Store as well.
Though,..am I missing something here:- (OK,..here goes). From the Apple Online Store. <http://www.apple.com/au/store> MacPro Quad-Core One 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Nehalem" processor 3GB (three 1GB) memory 1TB hard drive SuperDrive ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1GB GDDR5 A$ 3,499.00 If you configure this to be the same as the Server model on the store with 8GB RAM and the second Hard Drive it comes in at $4224 Server One 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Nehalem" processor 8GB (four 2GB) memory Two 1TB hard drives SuperDrive Mac OS X Server unlimited-client license ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1GB GDDR5 A$ 3,799.00 Now if you wanted to run Snow Leopard Standard on it, you'd buy that for either $39 (although that's the upgrade from Leopard version) or the full Mac Box Set so as to get iLife and iWork as well. That's $169. Total $3968. So,..by my thinking,.you buy the server plus MacBox Set for $3968. Save $256 AND get a full OSX Server unlimited client license. Again,..I ask,..am I missing something there??? Lol :) (I only just threw that together,..so I could have overlooked something and I used all the pricing straight from the Apple online store RRP pricing of course) Kind Regards Daniel On 5/11/10 10:00 PM, "Craig Bruce" <[email protected]> wrote: > > Know many companies still running these awesome machines..
