kerochan Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Still looking for the right computer for Logic, whilst I use my macbook pro, hissing away! I have decided its between an imac 27, i7 quad core, 32gb RAm 512 flash (refurbished 2015 model) or a refurbished Macpro trash can 2013, 8 core. I will use my TB 27 screen as the main monitor. I dont want a new model, as i am happy with El Capitan, which the refurbished ones are delivered with. Any pointers? out of the 2 above?

Ploki Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I prefer headless macs for desktop use, because you can put fans away from your face, so i'll vote for the trashcan MP. + i always liked the trashcan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerochan Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 Thanks Ploki I have the MBPro on the other side of the room and the fan is still too much. I thought the iMac fans were meant to be really quiet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambosun Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I would choose the Vader helmet any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewdman42 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I'd go for the trashcan also....or even a 2012 cheese grater. Nothing else since then is good enough for what we do, they all have some kind of hardware problems, such as thermal problems fan noise, etc. My cheese grater is right by my feet and I can't even tell if its on or not other then the light on the front. Totally dead silent. But its officially a deprecated device from Apple.....so..there is that...but you can get a decent one loaded up for $1500-2000. THe trashcan also, would be my choice and actually first choice if you are already using a lot of Thunderbolt, etc.. I use a lot of PCI stuff, so I need the cheese grater and will remain on it until Apple brings out an affordable replacement that also has PCI slots.

Atlas007 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Trashcan all the way. Very dependable and dead silent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerochan Posted October 26, 2019 Author Share Posted October 26, 2019 Thanks guys Much appreciated, my hardware is TB, so a Cheesegrater is gonna be no good unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewdman42 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 trashcan then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ploki Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 i'd buy the trashcan if the mini didn't come out I really really liked it. mini was in the end cheaper as far as fans go: i've heard iMacs that are not -that- silent. i mean, macs are silent in general, but i prefer not to have a fan in front of me.
