Good Morning All. I read with a certain amount of head spinning all of your tales of 20 core 40 thread machines. I was thinking of investing in an 8 core 16 thread iMacPro but that would set me back around £5k. OK I would use it for my main hobby (photography) too but there is no way that I could approach you guys. Ah well it's nice to dream.

Morning all,
----------------------------------------Rod, that's a serious laptop, even with British Gas rates 5k would run that inefficient server of mine for over 6 years. 
cheers,

@Mac1: If I still lived in my old place on Hounslow/Whitton Boarder, I would be at your door right now, salivating uncontrollably , but I'm in Glastonbury now, so afraid I can't
---------------------------------------- , just out of interest, how much would shipping be for that (any idea?)?.  |

Good Morning Team. Steve I believe it is your birthday today. I hope that you have a great day and tomorrow you remember most of it Greetings all rhe way from the alternative hemisphere!Happy Birthday Steve, I found the server box yesterday and its still got some packaging in it, so if you still want the server it's all yours. If not then it sounds like TMC might like it. I checked couriers on a comparison site and only got two responses. One for 95 pounds and the other for 126 which both sounded ridiculous, you might want to check the usual delivery suspects for a better quote. I used the following info Basildon to Belfast, non urgent, 25kg, computer server, 90x20x50. Although the dimensions were a guess as I hadn't found the box at that stage. My email is mac1 at number.land

Good Morning All
----------------------------------------Thanks Rod, Hit the spritley young age of 53. If I was a car I'd be a classic twice over. Ha! My iMac27 has hit 54 years crunching time which makes it older than you (after a fashion) Steve.
