[QUOTE="Karl Peterson, post: 90640, member: 4429"] Re: Figure 53 releases QLab-3 and QCart which looks awesome! A few notes, If you decide to try it, and you can get 1 of your MP's upgraded to 10.8, you should be able to clone the drive(s) (Boot/Install & Primary Data) to duplicates and not have to step through it over and over again. It's relatively simple if you have an open drive bay, but if not you can use the IDE bus as noted in the linked guide. Again, the GFX concern is real. Beware the USB3 hub. While most people point at them as an issue on Mac, I have had trouble with them all over the place. I would at least consider using a thunderbolt Raid and or something like the LaCie thunderbolt hub. You may have already prototyped the usb3 solution and found it working for you, if so then great! I'll be curious to see if we have a literal replacement for the MacPro this year, or a spiritual one. One side of me is looking forward to a new tower with drive bays and PCIe cards - the other side of me is half expecting to see a macpromini with integrated GFX, a <500GB SSD, some beefy processing, 10GB-T, USB and 4 or 5 thunderbolt ports. Any expansion (GFX, high speed disk, peripherals, etc) would be handled externally. If they followed this up with a 10.9 system-provided cross-system scheduler to allow apps to easily-ish distribute tasks over nodes on the 10GB network, it would be a new direction while not completely leaving existing users out in the cold. After the better part of 4 or 5 years on a similar design footprint, I do expect to see something newish, if not a significant departure. Karl "Interesting Times Ahead" P [/QUOTE]
