legunner Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Looking to invest in a desktop. I'll need an iMac and I'd prefer to have it better than my laptop. Currently running a macbook pro, 2010 (i think) 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4gb RAM 1067 MHz DDR3. I semi don't wanna break my bank with this purchase but it's inevitable that i'll be forking a bit of coin.Anyways any suggestions as to where's the best place to look would help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I have an 2.8ghz 8 core Mac Pro with 2tb hdd, 128gb ssd, 10gb ram. I scored it for under 1k (can't remember exactly). But I spent about 500 upgrading ram and Hdd's to what they are now. Might be worth looking into doing something similar though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
