    1. weird crashes

    2. whining sounds

    3. not powerful enough

    4. not enough ram

    5. no SLI graphics

    6. too loud

    7. too big

    8. too small

    9. not expandable

    10. too expandable

    11. too sexy

    12. not sexy enough

    13. too expensive

    14. too low-priced

    15. too much thermal paste

    16. not enough thermal paste

    17. too heavy

    18. too light







    Don't forget:



    19. Drops internet connection from wake

    20. Drops internet connection randomly

    21. Internet connection in general sucks

    22. Bluetooth connection sucks

    23. Fans are noisy



    We laugh. But I hope Steve is taking folks at Apple to task over the quality issues.

    Apparently, damn. haha. I could replace the 120mm fan and put fanmates on the dualie fans. I could, but meh. Once I get another Mac mini or in a few weeks just use my Mac mini G4 from work I could buy a Dual-DVI KVM and wake the Digital Audio from sleep when I want to play Quake 3/4.

    If my Mac Pro is too quiet, I'll be pissed at you, Apple.

    Cool. Here was my version. The complaint feedback was too small and the handle would slice up your hand realll good. Plus "core ex2" was just something I made up. All the intel naming scheme thingys are confusing me now.

    Here's mine, with a glossy black case, a Xeon logo I drew up in a minute or two, and two graphics cards with an SLI bridge.

    Nice

    If Apple would do something like that with the MacBook Pro I'll buy one.

    it's not really the macbook black... but a more nicer darker aluminum case...





    I do remember from the "MacBook Pro Mock-Up thread" that Sunil would have liked a darker aluminum case. So I gave this a try.

    Placebo. Black is a hard sell to everyone, although I would get the black one for sure, but could do it in a glossy iPod white for the business sector that possibly couldn't have that on top of their desk? You know how conforming the working sector can be.

    b3nj and others: no handles, two drive bays, 3 usb ports on the front, fw400, fw800, power switch in a more sensible location. and the expandability you demand on the inside* ... The midi-tower Mac Pro Quad Extreme, Quad Pro, and Dual Pro: (image below)
