Re: Free to good home: MacPro 1,1

I would like to think so Ronni. It’s the big heavy box Mac Pro with the side 
opening door, made when  computers held the desk up, not sat on top!!

I’m hoping it ends up with an owner  that’s going to value the heritage. 

Regards.

Hey Tim,

That is the 1st MacPro - a collector would pay very good money for it!
A beautiful computer...

Cheers,

Free to good home: MacPro 1,1

[Tim Law]

Good evening. 

I have a mid 2007 MacPro 1,1 going free to good home.

It’s all functional and would come with a dongle and generic screen and 
keyboard and mouse.

It’s loaded with 5MB of RAM
Two Dual processors - four core - 2.66 Ghz
One disk is installed. It has four internal drive bays

It currently has been tweaked to run El Capitan 10.11.4. No tweaks exist to 
push it further. 
The consequences of this upgrade are the none of the USB outputs, or the DVD 
drive, function. They DO accept a keyboard and mouse. There is no wifi card, so 
the only way to connect this machine to a network is via Ethernet cable - or 
install and remove disks from the drive bays. 

I assume they would all return to normal functioning if you loaded Mac OS X 
10.7.5 (Lion) which I believe is the normal latest version. 
Also as part of the upgrade, I needed to purchase a new graphics card at some 
cost. It’s an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB and has some value still and you 
can drive two large monitors with this good quality card. 

I imagine that loaded with an SSD drive, this would return to being quite a 
serviceable machine. 

I’m in Carine.
