Description

Mac Pro 5,1 2012 Xeon W3680 6-Core 24GB ECC RAM Radeon RX 560 2GB 1TB NVMe Thunderbolt Blu-ray USB 3.1 Wifi AC Bluetooth
This item is a custom configuration of the Mac Pro 2012 (A1289 2629). It is used and in good operating order. Please see photos for cosmetic condition.
Installed:
Mojave (10.14.6)
BIOS: 144.0.0.0.0
One Xeon W3680 @3.33GHz (6 Core, one CPU tray)
24GB RAM (three OWC EEC 8GB modules)
One ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB SSD Drive (1,618 MB/s, good for PCIe 2.0)
AMD Radeon RX560 (2GB) (unmodified, DVI, untested, HDMI doesn’t work, DP works 4K)
Displayport cable included. (30 seconds from chime to boot)
LG WH16NS40 Blu-Ray R/W in Superdrive bay
Second DVD bay contains a OWC multi-mount configured for a 3.5” hard drive
4-3.5 inch drive sleds (empty)
One modified Thunderbolt 3 card (Titan Ridge)
One Caldigit USB 3.1 card (2-3.1 ports)
WIFI Card (AC) (Retained original bluetooth. BT on new WiFi card can upgraded to 4.1 with some effort)
Extras:
Empty Dual PCIe m.2 card, one NVMe slot, one SATA m.2 slot (tested, works)
One Nvidia GeForce GT640 1 GB- One HDMI, one DVI and one DisplayPort output. Only the HDMI port is working.
Highpoint Rocket Raid 640L (4 port SATA III) (untested)
Apple A1310 (Nvidia Gforce GT 120) (Useful for clean installs when you need to see the boot screen, distorted. Works with Mojave once installed, does not work for Mojave install)
Given the port issues consider video cards living on borrowed time.
At least there are two (both capable of displaying to 4K monitor if one fails)
The addition of NVMe support in BIOS really brought these desktops back from the dead.
It is very responsive and feels like a modern computer once again. The Thunderbolt 3 card, USB 3.1 card and Blu-ray R/W are nice upgrades as well.
It’s impossible to price a Mac Pro for “Buy it Now”.
Prices are all over the place. When that happens, I just put it on eBay as an auction item and let the market decide. I set the initial price at without a reserve and trust that it will work out. It always has for me.
Also, these Mac Pro desktops are ideal for those who like to tinker with the hardware (and due to the age and EOL from Apple, software) If this is you I encourage you to place your bid.
If this will be your first Mac computer and you are only attracted by the price, you will be soon over your head-don’t bid.
Shipping is always a hassle for Mac Pro’s.
It generally runs from -0. I’m going to make it easy for you.
I’ll pay the shipping.
You will find under shipping-it should say something like “Ships Free!”.
It will be packed in a custom made OWC box made for shipping Mac Pro’s.
No mouse or keyboard included.
That’s it.
Thanks for reading this and good luck bidding.
