  Can we dispense with the Mac Pro to trash can cliche already? 
 

 
Perhaps a really large beer mug?

Wait that is the mac? I thought it was a bottle cooler. I was gonna ask where you got it and if it worked.

It would make a better bottle warmer, but it makes a good computer as it is.

I'd easily pay $150 for this if they would make it.  A bottle freezer

So far I've been testing the HA50p on my MacBook.
I found Teacs app to be a touch temperamental so I'm using Audirvana Plus.
 
The Rig -
 
MacBook Pro
Teac HA50p
Beyerdynamic Tesla T70p
 


 
 
 

Yep that's All Along The Watchtower by David Matthews Band.
Sounds extremely detailed, A touch more bass than I'm used to but it's not overbearing. 
Mids are slightly forward but nice and smooth.
Highs are crisp and snappy. 
So far I'm very pleased I made the jump

Mine is as simple as it gets.

All these Macs! I'm still sportin' a dual 2.0 G5 as my audio/visual workhorse and a PowerBook G4 Aluminum for work!

I didn't really see this coming.

A while ago, my rig was purchased at a very bad time.

1) Most games (mainly indie games) stopped going SLI, and I found out a second card is useless for basically 50% of the things I do.
2) AMD dropped the CPU market, I'm stuck with an AM3+ board (a very expensive one at least, so I'm not converting to intel anytime soon.)

I upgraded to a 780ti, and have 2 660ti's lying around now... I overclocked my 8350 but it's nowhere near the performance of a 3rd gen i7

This is why I've always gone with the best single graphic card I can buy. Too few games support it, let alone utilize it the way its suppose to.   
 
I own a 

Phenom II X4 940 3.0 ghz that was released January 8, 2009 and I can still play almost any game on highest settings. So you should be set with the AMD cpu for 4-5 years assuming you aren't doing much more then gaming.  Heck my 8 year old work laptop can still games @ medium settings. ​

Graphics card matters more for games than anything else.
