The new Mac Pro is a radical departure.

Computer or sub woofer?

 

[themissingpiece]

I personally think it looks kinda cool, but damn, that's gonna be impossible to upgrade.

 

[fat_panda]

I'll probably accidentally throw away my banana peel that thing.

 

[dtemple]

Looks like a modern-style garbage can. It's probably going to be awesome, it just looks different.

 

[SneakySnake]

They said in the presentation it's more upgradable then the last Mac Pro

 

[nevilence]

There is a fine line between awesome innovation and retarded design, this mac will walk that line everyday of its life...

 

[milktea]

Computer or sub woofer?

Good idea! I guess Apple could just include a 6" sub into the case.

Though it's a Mac (Apple), and I would never overpay for one, I like the design...and the horse power.

 

[rrr1431]

From a design standpoint it looks really nice and unique. I'm no Apple fan and I never use Mac computers but based on design alone, Apple computers are very clean and appealing to the eye.

PCIe flash, uses mSATA port... uhhhm wat?

 

[Rur]

I'm surprised it's not white.

 

[J-Zillah]

Looks good and I think the idea of the whole case being one wind tunnel makes sense.

 

[rwinches]

Oh, i'm sorry man, I thought it was an ashtray.

 

[MasterMace]

Looks like a bomb.

 

[SirTrollsALot]

"... and best of all, it will be assembled here in the USA.” Does that include the pcb boards? Doesn't look like any modified ATX case... Kinda reminds me of those old cigerrette ash tray cans you use to see back in the day...

After Jobs, Apple's designs are all garbage.

After Jobs, Apple's designs are all garbage.

LOL, is that what you do for a living? Are you an industrial designer? Can you please post the box you built at home with 12 cores?

 

[sundragon]

It looks like the Genesis Device!
Almost as much hardware - I love the triple sided motherboard, the thing is tiny for what it packs.

 

[billgatez]

It looks cool. But how cool will it run? That is allot of hardware for one fan and heat sink to keep cool.

 

[frank the tank]

I am not a person who likes apple but I would like to point things out. I have to give them props for building them in the USA. Lenovo is doing it too. I hope it becomes a trend. Next thing, upgrading I hope that the gpus can be replaced because in those pics I don't think they are. And considering how expensive this thing will be. That would be a shame even for an apple product. I like the way it looks though, apple knows how to make nice looking machines.

[moonzy]

It looks like Darth Vader's version of R2-D2.
