    Now, this would be a real sweet high definition workstation environment. Cinema display 24" (Dark brushed aluminium) shown with iSight and FrontRow capabilities. A perfect complement to your MacPro Quad Extreme, Quad Pro, or Dual Pro. (image below)

    With a tank as big as the PowerMac, you have GOT to have the handles.

    Well, that's the idea with the Midi-Tower design shown above. The current G5 is as high as the 30-inch cinema display. This design above is as high as the 23"/24" cinema display.

    That mock-up has a weight problem

    Liquid metal maybe? I like the dark aluminum one though.



    I suspect we will get almost the same design as we have now. Perhaps after a weight watchers program... None of the other intel conversions have had major redesigns. I suspect that is for strategic reasons.

    Cool. Heh. Steve Jobs: "Alright G5 case, we're gonna put you on a program, starting today I wanna see pounds dropping..!! And if I see you near those chocolate muffins, you're gonna be in deep trouble, baby...!"



    Side note. Dark aluminium credited to user b3nj. I have been riffing off his earlier mockups.

    As a rare cheese-grater fan, I'm rooting for consistency.

    ie: similar case design as with all the intel Macs so far ? Apple's way of saying these are still Macs, even with intel inside.



    But I like the idea of a change in colour...

    Quick question:

    How do you open the 2nd optical drive bay if there's only one eject key on the keyboard? How was this done when the MDD G4's were around? I forget!

    Shift-Eject, I do believe. There are a good five ways of doing it from the Finder as well.



    Am I the only one, though, that finds it absolutely obnoxious that there are no eject buttons on the hardware itself?

    Okay, I am afraid I am going to have to move for a banning of all glow effects?!

    No, you're right...there should be...and in my opinion on ALL of the other hardware too.

    Btw on macs there isnt a button per se -- but there is a manual eject "hole"



    The thing with eject buttons -- is that they arn't mechanical and can freeze up just like software ejects can too.

    Someone has to say it. These all suck ass. I think it's obvious none of you are actual design pro's. Sorry.
