Where can I buy a Mac Pro?

In the US, you may purchase a Mac Pro directly from Apple, but doing so often will require you to pay sales tax, which easily can exceed US$200. Those interested in getting the best deal would be better served by purchasing their Mac Pro from an Apple Authorized Reseller that does not charge sales tax, like site sponsor PowerMax.

Site sponsor PowerMax also offers a large selection of refurbished and used systems, including the Power Macintosh G5. Site sponsor Operator Headgap Systems specializes in souped-up used systems that are capable of running both the latest MacOS X applications and older MacOS 9 applications.
