I'm still on an the old "cheese grater" case Mac Pro but I just found
out that the 2008 model will no longer be supported on the next
iteration of OSX, at least from the lists of supported hardware Apple
put out. Eight years is a pretty good run but I guess I'll finally have
to get the thing up
Ah yes, the great classics of rock.

Hi,
I agree totally with your assessment here. Although, regarding the MacPro, I
installed a SSD into Bay 1 of mine, created a fusion drive between it and a 1
TB spinner in Bay 2 and knocked it up to 16 GB of RAM. It runs quite well with
El Capitan now.

Hi Arnold,
That price in kiwi dollars is bloody good.
As for the 4 gig ram, in the 2011 mac mini it’s really easy to change ram and
you should be able to put 16 gig in to that model of mini.
I had a 2010 server that was updated by myself to 16 gb ram, and I did the same
with my current mac min
Also, if you know a good computer store, or you know how to yourself,
you can upgrade the ram, I believe up to 16 GB. At least, mine can be
upgraded that much, yours may be only 8 GB. Still, that is decent.

That is the exact model I got, but it is from 2012.
I honestly think it would be a great buy, as I've read the reviews on it.
