Your dead right there. A lot of people (like me) put there towers on the floor under the desk (it saves desk space) if the CD drive etc. where in the top you could not do that, and when you put the tower on the desk it would be quite a reach.
That looks like a modified toaster or something. I wouldn't buy if I had the money. Apple would never let the whole Titanium thing get out of hand. You know, like making everything Titanium would just be lame. Also, slot loading Desktops? Never, how would you upgrade the CD Drives or whatever. It's close to never. Probably in the future, but not now.
I like the G4 case, it's easy to upgrade, and everything fits just right. I think Apple will stick to it. Who knows? I only believe <a href="http://www.macosx.org"; target="_blank">www.macosx.org</a> since they were the only ones that knew how the Quiksilver case was going to look like.
How about an all-black Powermac G5 case with indigo blue logos and such? Backlight the logos ever so slightly, and it would be one bad-ass looking powermac.

That might be cool, I'd have to see it tho.
As for the colors, anyone notice that everything is starting to mimic OS X? Light grey and white. I would expect the iMac and tower to follow suit.

Yeah, Apple is moving away from colors. The iMac is the only one left... hmm..... <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />
I just hope Apple replaces the Zip drive bay with a 5.25" drive bay in their next case release!!! I'd really like to be able to add a secondary CD/DVD drive over a Zip drive.
Well, I just saw on Daily Daemon where OS X 10.2 will not be released until summer 2002. That would mean that the G5 will also be released at the same time. The G5 is a 64 bit processor and OS X 10.1.x will not take advantage of it. Considering the availability of G5 processors (nothing but test betas) and OS X 10.2 not being released in January = forget it tell this summer. Well back to the LCD iMac speculation threads.

March, not the summer. Apple said March X will be default on new macs, that would seem to mean X.2 would be out.
Do we even know if the G5 will be 64-bit. I've been saying that the G5 will come out, expect 32-bit and at lower clock speeds than suggested, with a few architectural features missing. Main features will be there though.
I've been wanting a big, glossy black case for several years. Hell, I think El Capitan would look awesome in all glossy black with glowing red power buttons and Apple logo. A black PowerMac would be bad ass.

I think in a way I like that better than the Cube.

I think apple has to break out of the cube mold that theyve built them selves into. Time for something new.

I know March is not summer, that's why I rebuttal to your post
[quote] Phil Schiller, Apple's VP of worldwide marketing, has gone on the record to suggest March as the date when new Macs ship with OS X as default.
