Ask HN: Mac pro alternatives
I want to get high-end workstation at home for doing data analysis/simulation over large financial datasets, but 4000$K for the latest 6-core seems a little much too me especially considering the capabilities of cloud based computing these days.<p>However, as much as I want to do everything at amazon I still feel the need for a powerful workstation at home.<p>So what are some worthy alternatives? Preferably, it comes installed with ubuntu and is quiet.
