By the way, with the 828es, are you using the TB3>TB2 Apple adapter or StarTech one?

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I've heard much praise for the 828es. Kinda blows you can't hot swap (even though with an interface you rarely need to) but the extra minute in boot times isn't great. Cool that it's working either way though.

Yeah, man. I'm in a weird spot, but I can't wait a year or more to get a computer. Bad time to buy in general with high SSD and GPU prices. I might be able to get away with some TB3 chassis for expansion cards if I did go the iMac Pro route. Those eGPU devices seem to work for some things. Just...

I should also state that I know I'm a freak compared to other artists and use way more types of software than most. It just kind of built up over time as I tried more complex and bizarre things to achieve the results I wanted. It is for this same reason why I used to get paid a ton. My problems...

Thanks for the video. Yeah, the problem I have is different from his because I actually do multitask and use multiple apps at once working on high-end niche stuff that tends to get weird at times compared to normal workflows. On a typical day I would have open Photoshop, AE, Illustrator, Maya...

Hi Pastrychef. I might be more confident if I had done a build before. The hardware I can wrap my head around, but the other stuff makes me go a bit cross-eyed. :) Either way I need to get something running or I can't work. I guess the positive side would be that even if I couldn't get OS X...

Thanks for the link. I'll give it a read. It's just a really crappy time to be a Mac user. Windows guys can have the best of all worlds with the most powerful, upgradeable everything... albeit still OS problems that the Mac lacks. All Apple would need to do is allow OS X to be installed on PC...

Well... after reading through a lot of this stuff it sounds like Thunderbolt 3 doesn't have all the bugs worked out yet (hot swap) and the motherboards used might not have enough PCI slots/lanes for all the stuff I'd like/need—TB3, 10Gb ethernet, video capture card, 2 m.2 drives, plenty of...

Hi Stork. Thanks for the links. I'll check them out.

Hi Guys I wanted to know if anyone has done a stable build with Sierra or High Sierra for audio and video. My old Mac Pro is basically dead. I'd like a setup that can run Digital Performer and Adobe CC (photoshop, after effects, premier or FCPX) with a modern audio Interface, fast processor (or...
