Hi Everybody,
I need to buy a new computer and found these two second hand:

MB: X99 LGA2011
Intel Xeon E5-2680 V4
RAM: 64GB (2x32GB) DDR4 ECC 2133MHz
NVMe M.2 256GB
HDD 1TB
RX 580
Power Supply: Cooler Master 650W

or

Mac Mini 2018
Intel i7 3,2 Ghz 6 core (I believe it's the 8700b)
64 GB di RAM
SSD 2 TB

Both at 500 euros (mac mini 550)

I use Nuendo 15 with sample libraries and VSTi and I will need to open large orchestral ProTools recording sessions. Which one would youo reccomend?

I also found a

Mac Mini M2 pro
RAM 32 GB
HD 1 TB

for 900 euros (which it seems a good price) but it is above my budget at the moment.

I appreciate any suggestion, thank you in advance.

 

Xeon one

 

you might check amazon refurbished. HP Core™ i7-9700 or 8700 32g ram under 500euro.
i picked up the 8700 for about 350.

 

that X99 spec seems suspicious, is it some unknown chinese motherboard with crippled RAM slots and embedded processor?
and stay away from that MacMini, it's not a good value at 550€ imo (SSD is soldered and once it or mobo fails you can throw away entire Mac)

 

Thank you all. I don't know if this can help?
