This is the new tree. The lights have all kinds of different settings...flashing, sparkling, white, colours. different colours, etc.

The tree itself is a 9 foot tree. With the angel on top, it is about 10 feet tall!!!

You can click on it to zoom in to see a bunch of different ornaments that reflect different important things in our lives.

Enjoy!!

A new shovel, to shovel out the foot of snow in the back of my truck so we can actually go get our christmas tree, which will be later this morning.

A 2019 Mac Pro with an AMD Radeon 1900 XT GPU + a W5700X 16 GB GPU included

The whole package cost $4000 Canadian or $2800 US tax included. That was a good deal cuz those graphics cards are over $1000 US each.

So that saved me a lotta money having to buy those gpu's later. So I ended up getting the computer for almost nothing really. $800 for a mac pro excluding the cards? That computer used to sell for $6000.

Anyway that'll likely be the last Mac Pro I ever buy. Runs Mac Windows Linux at fast Native speed under the same hood. That's like getting 3 PCs for the price one.

Was going to see if I can make some extra money doing side jobs with it.

Nice. My Raedon is a 7200 with 32 gig. It's Alienware and nuts awesome.
I was told its possible to pair 2-16 GB gpu's to have 32 GB except I might have to buy another identical Radeon 1900xt card to do that. or a 5700 card

Not sure tho. It sounds complicated

I’ll have to check it out. My IMac could use an upgrade.

I just paid the extra 150 up front for double the RAM. I've had that card 3 and a half years now and it's still heads and tails better and faster than anything else I've seen in a desktop.

Well to match what you got I'd either have to get another amd 1900xt or buy the highest end model which is actually 2 cards that have 32 gb. 1 card is more expensive than a PC.

But its mondo expensive especially for a niche market like macs

Best bet if I could find a deal on gpu's out there

I was lucky to get those under market value. Ow I probably wouldn't have bought it
