Create Pro (Custom Mac Pro builds)

Has anyone got any experience of this company: http://create.pro/ ?

I'm quite intrigued by some of the upgrades they can offer, and am just costing up what the equivalent self-build components would be.

It's nice to see a company still utilising and improving the old MP. CPU upgrades, USB 3 cards, 10Gig ethernet, SATA 3 RAID controllers, pcie storage, 12GB TITAN X cards, not to mention the Cubix PCI E expander! It all give me a bit of a hard-ware-on. Sorry.

Wow, just had a look. The old Mac Pro's still fetch a hefty price tag.

What do you have currently?

At the office they've got a load of 2010 Mac Pros that could do with some more life. Injecting them all with USB3, better GPUs and some flash storage would see them good for a few more years for minimal cost.

Do those models have TB?

Nope no Thunderbolt and no expansion options to add it. We don't have any TB stuff at the office, but it's still cheaper to install 10GE or Fibre than replace all the machines and all the peripherals with TB.
