The MORE EXPENSIVE Mac Pro... - Rackmount Edition

Why would someone pay EVEN MORE for a Mac Pro? I have one idea...

Buy Audio Mixers

Purchases made through some store links may provide some compensation to Linus Media Group.

0:42 i just want the editor to know i really appreciate this bit

[emrazum]

the pro falling off at 0:42, shoutout to the editors, keep up the little things

[LaskyLabs]

Every MacOS audio engineer is looking at this and pitching tents.

Linus at the beginning of the video: This was not intended for server use
Linus the rest of the video: This is a terrible server

[Snowmirage]

To whom ever took the time to animate that little bit with the "Pro" on the box falling off when Linus hit job :) I thoroughly enjoyed that little addition :)

For those curious, the sign on top of the rack says:


Please do not place things on top of
here


This is not a shelf.

As a live sound engineer, I kept yelling at my screen, "this was built for people like me!" Until 11:30, I then found peace when Linus mentioned the intended use for this device. Thanks haha

8:37 linus is so powerful he can talk without moving his mouth

[RichardTech]

Linus 3 weeks ago: "I'm Returning my Mac Pro
"
Linus now: Gets another instead.

why does linus keep calling my cat? hes mine man, leave him

[TLOH]

Dude, my grandma got to see me watching this and told me that's the larger grater she has ever seen in her life...(and she has seen a lot) "You could grate a whole 5lbs wheel of cheese on that". I had to explain it's actually a computer. Then "Mac n cheese" came to my mind.

I’m incredibly disappointed they didn’t call it the Rack Pro.

[ssenate]

It’s the little things like “pro” falling off

[luzonaa]

When is someone going to make a "Linus making weird mouth clicking noises" compilation?

[rightwingsafetysquad]

As someone that has worked in a datacenter, the quietness of a Mac Pro would be very much appreciated. Unfortunately when the CTO or CIO asks to spend 15% more for hearing safety concerns at the board meeting, the CFO is going to respond by suggesting earplugs.


And i have another 2 potential use cases. If you have one of those hipster open concept offices with a bunch of people working around the same table, stacking a bunch of Rac Pros in the center makes a much cleaner work place than having a Mac Pro in every gap. Or if you operate like me with your workstation, NAS, and DMZ server all in the same home office, rack mounting them along with a switch and UPS makes a lot of sense.

Me before this video: looks like just a Mac pro in a sideways case.

Me after video: yup

[jeremiecorkery]

Absolutely true! I used to be an audio and lighting technician in my high school and a lot of our equipment was rack mounte. If we had a rack mounted macpro we couldve setup and integrate all our shows a lot better!

0:42 I like how when the "Pro" fell off the font even changed

I can't help but be constantly reminded of the old skit from forever ago: "Ladies and gentlemen, I give you, the iRack!"
