Given Apple's current locked-down trajectory with the Mac, the Mac Pro was gonna die eventually, and it's for the best that it does given it was reduced to little more than a massively overpriced Mac Studio grafted onto a useless PCIe backplane; a $12k grift, basically.

PCs at least are still modular and expandable; for now.

I admit I'm using my 1,1 as an extra seat in the office, but it's form of use.

My dad had a G5 (essentially the same case design externally) and this guy is probably not kidding, those things felt like a massive aluminium block

And I bought it back in 2006

Looks like non-functional 2006 Mac Pros are on eBay for $60. Cheaper than an office chair!

wdym, how does a block you sit on become non-functional?
