How about a modular mac pro 2015?

i was thiknking how many people would be interested in a mac pro similarly sized with 2 cpu sockets , 16 ram slots , an m.2 ssd slot and 2 gpu slots ,  with great cooling and fully upgradable.

To be honest, if you want a computer that is fully upgradeable, you can just buy a PC. Apple is known for locking down their platform and using proprietary technology. Even though the Mac Pro is impressive for the size, a custom build PC is still better value and performing.

Unfortunately, I suspect this kind of thing will never be destined for the Mac Pro thanks to it's new "Trash Can" shape. If we still had the sort of Chassis of the old Mac Pro then I could easily see that being achievable, but I don't see that happening with the new Pro.

 

I can see people more people maybe modding PowerMac G4/G5/Mac Pro Chassis and putting their own parts in, like this...

i think few people are interested. apple always has that thing where it should just work, no tweaking required. it's already nice that you can swap the ssd cpu and ram (cpu requires some tweaking tho, not reccomended for most people)

Upgrade-able Mac's isn't a thing because it's more expensive for them to produce. And they would have to spend a heap more money on compatibility research.

 

"Will these 10 off-brand RAM sticks work with our products?"

im designing it right now, thats why i ask!

[Th3 Mans1ay3r]

Extremely doubtful.

 

From what I've garnered there's not enough push within the Apple user community for them to ever care enough to go all out.

People who want highly modular systems are usually 1) willing to use a huge case and 2) more interested in a favourable price/performance ratio than in aesthetics.

Many Mac users, myself included, still prefer the 2012 Mac Po for this reason.   It is much easier to upgrade.   Standard Processors, Standard RAM, standard PCIE.   In fact in many cases a 2012 Mac Pro can be made faster than a current Gen one due to the upgradability.   Buddy of Mine just installed a Titan X in one.  Even my old 2008 Mac pro can still hold its own since I put a GX 960 and more memory in it.
