New RAM riser cards, wide video card slots, and 4 drive sleds are an interesting upgrade to the classic case design. I was not the biggest fan of the G5 case but this redesign makes it much more upgrade friendly.

    So are you asking for pics, or do you have pics to share, or are you commenting on pics that you have seen?

    Love the new internal case design. I'd trade my PM G5 for the new Mac Pro any day.

    as long as the thing doesn't weigh a million pounds like it used to (making the haandles completely unusable for someone barehanded), i'll be happy.

    I heard the heat sink shaved off a good 20 pounds, ie, half the weight of the thing.

    You heard wrong.

    The starting weight for a Mac Pro: 42.4lbs.

    The starting weight for a Powermac G5: 44.5lbs.



    20lbs of heatsink!?

    From the looks of it, those processors are pretty much cooled passively. There may be like 20 pounds of heatsink.
