So does this MacPro did the job as per your expectation?

I absolutely love it. It's super smooth for a normal use and very upgradeable. It can take a single Xeon 5690 6 core processor, up to 64GB of RAM and up to Vega 64 cards and NVME SSDs (which a PCIE adapter). You can do all this for roughly about RM4,000. If you don't need a Vega 64, you can cut RM2,000 off the total upgrade cost.

I've got a Xeon 5690 12 core processor (6 core x 2), 96GB of RAM, (because it's a triple channel processor apparently), RX580, and a pair of 512GB SSDs and and all these parts only cost me about RM5,700 (Some parts first hand and some parts second hand) + RM1,800 for the Mac Pro. So about RM7,500. And then I sold off some of the parts cuz I upgraded and it's lowered the total to only about RM6,500. The performance is between 5-20% below the latest iMac Pro which costs RM20,000. That's crazy savings!

As mentioned, the only reason I'm letting this go is because I need 2 CPU slots for my team.

Any chance to get the complete upgraded unit from you ?
Will save up the hassle to look for parts all over.

Nope sale didn't go through. Bump!
