New Mac Pro; New iMac

Mac Pro

So shall it be written, so shall it be done. The Mac Pro has at long last proven rumors of its impending refresh accurate, as Apple has just updated its most powerful hardware with even more grunt. As we'd heard previously, that means you can now get dual-CPU rigs that offer a full dozen cores to play with, courtesy of Intel's Xeon server-class chips, though in order to get in on that game you'll have to splash a cool $4,999 entry fee. The quad-core starting price is still $2,499, though the eight-core machines have jumped up to $3,499, with both variants getting mild speed bumps to 2.8GHz and 2.4GHz, respectively.

Perhaps the most welcome upgrade is on the graphical front, where the Radeon HD 5770 takes up the mantle of default GPU, with additional options for a pair of such cards or a step up to a 1GB HD 5870 alternative if you're keen on maxing out those frame rates. Memory isn't neglected either, with choices ranging all the way up to 32GB of RAM, 4TB of conventional HDD storage, or an array of four 512GB SSDs -- though you're probably better off not asking how much that last one will set you back. The comprehensive specs can be found in the full press release after the break.

s***, graphics cards; super expensive. Business as usual.

I was expecting a cooler look. I looks the same as the old ones?

They were too lazy to put any design effort into it. They figured it was a lost cause anyways, iPhone sells better, even when it is crippled.

Mac Pro case looks great, IMO, even if it is upside-down.

Pretty messy though. Which way does the air flow?

I see you still haven't got a new camera since the laser incident, lol.

Those pictures are from the early summer lol. I got a Fujifilm S1800 in July, just didn't feel like re-taking the pictures.

What about the radiator; does its fan blow out the front or does it blow back into the case?

Front to back. The radiator is in the front.
