Oh man, I have to disagree: that case is exactly the philosophy I was hoping for!
I had grown very tired of the rounded polycarb look of the G4s. I think this design lends the G5 far more credibility as being a powerhouse machine to be respected in the computing world. Try to write this off PC boyzz!
That's what people thought of El Capitan too . . . its awesome: sleek, elegant, just enough inustrial to keep it honest and yet designy so as to impact the future of decorative design and fashion for the next few years . . .
Sorry, that think is the worst design to come out of Apple... since the Blue Dalmation, and then some.
It basically doesn't answer the problems that were inherent in the El Capitan, and in fact makes them worse: you're still going to lose CD and cards and stuff underneath it, it's going to be unstable because of the overhang, those "handles" are going to cut into you if you carry it (note how the El Cap handles are angled) and you're still not going to be a removable drive on top of it.

Put down the crack pipe and slowly back away. That case rocks. It's absolutely the most gorgeous thing Apple has done next to the iPod. Simply hot and sexy.
this case is the most beautifull case i have ever seen. it truly is amazing. it seems to command respect with its all aluminum case, yet it kept elegant by the two thin legs that hold it up. the mesh on front gives it some of the complexity it needs. it is magnificent, Ives is a genious.

This is just laughable, last week you're all crying "fake", "crumpled paper" is just a PC box with some alu, this week you're buying a PC with some alu handles on it.
Bonkers.
You'll hate that thing the first time you have to pick one up.
Was Ive fired? If not, then he should be. I thought MDD was bad. Also, are we back to one optical drive? Did I miss drive doors within the mesh front panel?

Hmm, nope, don't remember saying fake last week. And because you don't like does not mean someone will 'hate it when they see it'. To each his own, I love it and look forward to ordering my dual 2ghz for less then the dual gig I'm replacing.
relax clive, looking at the amount of cooling this processors require
i think at years end you earned your 10 euro because there won't be a 15"pb with ppc970 processor before that time or it has to have a punch holed shell like this tower
All those holes better make it quiet. The different temperature zones are pure genius. I am very happy with the internals. The outside is OK, but I don't buy computers because they look pretty on the outside, I want the guts. I really wish they went all dual though.
I think it looks like a badass mofo, and it's completely in line with Ives' MO. No more perky PowerMacs, this one's mean. We all knew that the big curvy stuff was way out of date, though we will always love El Capitan for it great door (this one might actually be easier to deal with though since the door goes away completely and opens with a small latch). I'm thank ful they didn't try to place the mesh on the front of the drive door, it would have never lined up well, and would have fallen off too easily. Besdies, it does give an otherwise minimalist box some anthropomorphism, and we know how much Steve likes that.
PS: I'm surprised they didn't at least give the monitors an update as least in therms of their cases to (somehow) better-match the PMs. Maybe matching is a problem with the monitors?
PPS: I seriously doubt they cut corners on the design. Things that look that simple are much harder to design. Any shmoe can embroider a design for every aspect they have to deal with, but to make all those elements work with one clear idea takes a lot of time and energy.
I am sure they cut a lot of corners on the design to make it cheap.
Further more....I thought this was the "Year of the notebook."
90% of the products are not notbook stuff.
Where did he get that.
He was only touting the year of the notebook to draw attention away from the assed out powermacs. Now that we have the G5 he'll have to change it to the year of the Apple.

It look like cheap 70s hifi. El Cap was great.
I especially like the 'mesh' front...
I'm reserving actual judgement for a few more hours yet...

Certain trolls are sure to disagree with me.

Oh.. hi clive.
It is not sleak.
I am sure they cut a lot of corners on the design to make it cheap.

Exactly! That case is badass
