Genuine question -- how does adding wheels to the Mac Pro add value? I figured most people would just plop it on a desk.

I worked with a guy who had a DIY walking desk. Part of his setup involved leashing his tower like a dog and taking the whole mess around the block to work out tricky problems.

Poor guy would’ve been bound to his desk without the wheels.

I doubt you would want to be dragging a $50k Mac Pro around the block.

The guy was a 10x engineer. He was looking into medical tourism to have a feeding tube put in so he could fuel w/ Soylent.

Management would consider a $1k set of wheels a bargain to keep him happy.

This was a funny bit, ...right?

This comment is excellent.

If you work on set or Back stage or on tour. Not all editing and design work is done in an office.

I've worked in sound/lighting and we rack mount some machines in wheeled racks so they can be used to test/control/mix on any larger AV rack.

Thanks, that makes sense. If you don't mind me asking, what's your take on the cost of the wheels? As someone who has worked in sound/lighting, are they something you wouldn't have thought twice about buying?
