LG WH16NS40 Blu-Ray R/W in Superdrive bay
Second DVD bay contains a OWC multi-mount configured for a 3.5” hard drive

but with some random momentary "blanking" on occasion)
Highpoint Rocket Raid 640L (4 port SATA III) (untested)
Apple A1310 (Nvidia Gforce GT 120) (Useful for clean installs when you need to see the boot screen, distorted. Works with Mojave once installed, does not work for Mojave install)
------------------------
The addition of NVMe support in BIOS really brought these desktops back from the dead.
It is very responsive and feels like a modern computer once again. The Thunderbolt 3 card, USB 3.1 card and Blu-ray R/W are nice upgrades as well.
Given the port issues consider video cards living on borrowed time.
At least there are two (both capable of displaying to 4K monitor if one fails)(If using for production, ie, Photoshop, Lightroom or Final Cut Pro use the Radeon Card.  It's useable, but for the occasional video blanking, sometime several times a minute, sometimes not for days.) MSI Radeon RX560 card shown in the photos-I swapped it out for the
Nvidia GeForce GT640 as I was only doing web browsing and email.
It’s impossible to price a Mac Pro for “Buy it Now”.
Prices are all over the place. When that happens, I just put it on eBay as an auction item and let the market decide. I set the initial price at without a reserve. I will not end the auction early or send it to an address not on your account.
These Mac Pro desktops are ideal for those who like to tinker with the hardware (and due to the age and EOL from Apple, software) If this is you I encourage you to place your bid.
If this will be your first Mac computer and you are only attracted by the price, you will be soon over your head-don’t bid.
(Really! this is a return and re-list from the later)
Shipping is always a hassle for Mac Pro’s.
It generally runs from -0. I’m going to make it easy for you.
I’ll split the shipping.
I'll pay anything over
.
It will be packed in a custom made OWC box made for shipping Mac Pro’s.
No mouse or keyboard included.
