After owning two of Apple’s finest for nearly six years they still look brilliant to me. Classic design lives forever and I see no need to change what is clearly the best looking ‘puter in the business. Just keep the internal upgrades coming Apple.

The Mac Pro is still prettier on the inside (and the outside). That last shot is the money shot.

Well, I just down right love my mac pro just the way it is.
I used to be a “PC-guy” through and through, but damn if the insides (design, positioning, lack of cable clutter, room to work and so on ) is the reason for the weight of it, then im fine with my sherman tank.

also, looking at the outside of it, its design is still neutral enough, that it dont matter if the huge case os next to my table.

Dell looks like a goofy kid with an underbite.

@Jason
I hear ya. I used to be the Mac Admin at a university; moving those darn G5′s out and the Mac Pros in was like weight-training. I am pretty sure there are cars that weigh less. Also, why would you take it to the Apple Store for a wireless card?

As for the case design, well take a look at the Dell Latitude E6500….

Well, the dolly at the dealer I used said she couldn’t handle it, so I had to do the schlepping anyway.

Thank you…

Jason,

If you’d walked to the store first and talked to one of the staff, they’d have come out with a dolly to get your Mac Pro from your car.

At least the dell doesn’t weigh 900lbs. I had to carry my Mac Pro a mile from my car, through the mall to the Apple Store to get an AirportExtreme card put in, my God man, there is NO legitimate reason for it to weigh as much as a Sherman tank.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the MacPro case. Oh, I could wish for an open external 3.5″ drive bay, but I can’t expect anyone else to share my fetish for MO or Zip drives.

When I build a PC, I always overspend to get a nice aluminum case, and there literally IS NOTHING available that even approaches the MacPro case design and quality.
