The design is clean and black so i dont mind it. Nerdy space black beats the nerdy lookin silver beasts. What gets me is it form factor being so small. I have a 2gb 5870 card that is taller than its whole body. And it sounds like it can fit 2 of those, plus up to a 12 core, the board doesn't even seem big enough for 2 hexcore chips. Didnt even see the heat pipes on the board or 2 spots for multi processors. It will be an an impressive but im sure extremely pricey feat if it all works. Im also wondering it it has an external psu half as big as it is to power its top specs. And how well it can really disperse heat. I know my laptop operates around 65-70 idle which is pretty hot for idle and under stress it gets into the high 90s easily. But it has passed the 2 year mark. Hoping to see if it gets 3. Also curious about its GPUs. They said AMD and thought amd doesnt really have cuda support which adobe uses for hardware acceleration.
I have to say Im not a big apple fan, they usually sell slightly above or average hardware at newborn prices, but I cant really say too much bad about this. Its flashy and it has possibilities. Just a big question mark wether it will work and if its worth the price. Or if this is some sort of strong arm hype thing to see if they try and force hardware manufacturers to design for more custom fit design stuff instead of a huge market of great hardware that you can build and create equal or better at half the costs. Apple is great at lowering people down to their playing field and making thinks oh so middle the road mediocre... Seriously I would love to see a great flash site again im so sick of wordpress.... and their ipad and macbooks are getting more manufacturers to create more buy once and throw away if something breaks systems instead of customizing or upgrading and getting more years out of a device. This could be their attempt to do the same to the PC market. Dont know if that is possible but u never know if hype will trump reason these days.

Man, Apple innovatorz!
A black computer where the air flows right through it, like, right thru da whole thing. Where do they cum up with this stuffzzz?
3 words: omg OMG OMGZZ!
Groundbreaking shit!And like for all you haters out there, learn like algebra or geometry ok. A square isn't a tube! At all. Morons. It's different from this:

- ha silverstone sold me on the chimney designdeathboy
- I knew I saw that vertical airflow before ehehehGeorgesIV
- Bigger though.lnu
- of course there is a black PC out thtere somewhere with top vents. probably a pink helo kitty one too.inteliboy
- I looked through this, it's just a small ripoff of the old Mac Pro. Inside it's just regular setup, not a column of air.monospaced
- This appears to indicate otherwise, Mono.. http://www.silversto… ..see big fan at basedetritus
- apple split their mobo into 3 cards. the inside is hallow its like a tube.err

It's pretty clear where Mr Ive has been spending his time - and it wasn't in the icon department...

Prediction: PC market follows with shiny black computers in new form factors. HP, Dell, Samsung, they'll all compete directly looks wise for far cheaper and weaker machines. Will apple sue?
- all inevitable.CyBrainX
- Shiny black computers in new form factors? And they follow, not leading? Did you see the post up there? Did you even google?Peter
- Yeah it looks like a cheap black PC with a vent on the top. What is your point?inteliboy
- I'm sorry if I'm wrong. Show me another black cylinder computer with a central fan and ill take it all back.monospaced
- shut the fuck up peterkingsteven
- It's in aluminum.
So...because Apple took their idea but made it round suddenly everyone's ... following apple? :/Peter - Steven, great articulate point.
Also, go fuck yourself.Peter - that computer up there is literally 4-6X larger (volume) and isn't ANYTHING like the new Mac Pro insidemonospaced
- it doesn't even resemble the new Mac Pro at all except that it vents through the top, and no, that's not the only distinguishing featuremonospaced
- distinguishing feature.monospaced
- That computer up there, that silverstone shit, isn't a column of air. It's just a small Mac Pro rip.monospaced
- dude, it's clear you've just ignored that mono is just stating obvious to push your own geeky bs... the way it is cooled is irrelevant.kingsteven
- is irrelevant.kingsteven
- Hah. You're the saddest kind of apologists I've seen on here since the last keynote. Well then, I'll leave you to it.Peter

What's with the HDMI port? Is this going to be a gaming machine?
- Apple hates gamingmekk
- http://en.wikipedia.…kingsteven
- it's for connecting to a Television, like many video Pros would do with a Pro machine, you might not understandmonospaced
- it's pretty much the standard (non-apple) video connector & HDMI 1.4 can do 4k... glad to see it there actually.kingsteven
- You'd need a thunderbolt to HDMI cable otherwise.animatedgif
- yeah no more pinchi HDMI adaptersmoldero

my thought b4 i clicked that link:
"I already have a mac pro, what can they possibly show me that will make me want to give them my money?"
my thought about 20 seconds into that link:
"fuckers"- < I bought a 12-core almost a year ago in anticipation of this shit... Glad I didn't wait BUT will get one next year...ideaist
- Ypu should never buy 1st gen anyway. Leave it to the fanboys to work out the bugs.kingsteven
- yeah wait!err
