Yeah, depreciation is kind of depressing.
I bought my 2006 Mac Pro 1,1 as a refurb in 2007. Paid $1800 for it. 4 years later it's still worth $900.
That still handily beats the value of any 4 years old PC.
I recently installed Quad Core processors and a new ATi 5770 video card in my Mac Pro. I think I can get a couple more years out of the old girl.
