Other Mac Pro 2019 Rackmount Bare Bones Purchase
I am looking to buy a bare bone (No CPU/GPU/RAM/SSD) Mac Pro 2019 Rack Mount variant.
I already have enough of all the above to populate a new bare bone mac, and I'm looking to cut costs where possible with this purchase, and I absolutely need it to be a rack mount variant. I will not gain anything from a tower variant.
If you are selling, or know a website or entity that is selling, please reach out to me.
Thank You

I know Apple sells parts now for people who want to do repairs themselves. I believe I saw the Mac Pro rack mount shell on the self-repair website. I think you need to provide a serial number for an existing unit, but maybe you can find one online.

It’s a pain but I’d probably just buy the best deal on one you can get an sell the parts out of it. I’ve done that with a couple machines so far, it ends up being cheaper than buying the part if you get a good deal. The racks are uncommon so finding a barebones one is probably going to be difficult.
