Given Apple's current locked-down trajectory with the Mac, the Mac Pro was gonna die eventually, and it's for the best that it does given it was reduced to little more than a massively overpriced Mac Studio grafted onto a useless PCIe backplane; a $12k grift, basically.

PCs at least are still modular and expandable; for now.

UPDATE: The Mac Pro is now officially dead.

They're overpriced crap now. You buy at a 3x premium for the hardware, and you get the OS. That's it.

    I'd consider it if they just sold it as an atx case. But then again, I probably couldn't afford it because just the wheels accessory is $700.

    The cases of old ones are on eBay, as I mention in another comment.

    And it looks like someone has made ATX mounting kits.
