There are a couple of small scrapes and a small divot in the case but nothing I can't live with. Have several upgrades in the planning like replacing the system drive with an ssd and adding other drives inside. I really love how I can update things in this machine h/w wise unlike my old iMac. It came with Sierra on it and was easy to backdate to Yosemite 10.10.5 because all the audio software I use isn't ready for Sierra. Booted right up and is fairly quiet - can hear the fans when the room is quiet but even then they're not all that loud.

I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from Apple Mac Pro (2010) 2.8GHz 4-core Xeon W3530 - Used, Fair condition. I am very happy with my system and this approach to assembling it. By going for used and legacy components I was able to assemble a very powerful system for thousands less than a comparable new system would have cost. While my system is technically a legacy system, with this CPU it's a BEAST! The additional cores and speed give it the juice to run very resource-hungry plug-in modules with hardly a hiccup. I subsequently did a CPU upgrade to bring it to a 6 Core 3.6 GHZ machine with 32 Gig RAM. I bought this computer to be the platform for my main Pro Tools system, an HD3 Accel system.
