Programmer said it support connections superior to 0,5 meter, but does it support a one meter connection (with a 0,5 meter cable you will have to put the external chassis very close to the tower.
The last generation of G4 has four PCI slots : it's sufficiant for most users, considering that the Mac, have built in audio, firewire, usb, airport connector in it.
Since the B&W G3, there is more and more space avalaible in the chassis : there is no reason that we see the reverse.
Personally if i have a wish for the case, it will be the avalaibility of a third 5 1/4 bay.
970'S will be released and orders taken from the 23rd June. I don't know how many product ranges are likely to recieve the new processors, but you will be able to order machines from the 23rd.
What if Apple only has a limited number of 970 machines at the moment and sells them to developers only for now. Then in a month or two they have enough produced to sell to the general public. It would be a first.

Hell just GIVE them to the developers. The increase in registrations for next year's WWDC would more than recoup the costs. Might even draw some non-traditional Mac developers.
The pallets were delivered, the stock room is crammed now and the large boxes have 4 smaller boxes inside of them... I mean they "might" have 4 smaller boxes inside of them if we had opened them. The boxes are 3'x3'x2' (roughly I did not measure them)
Well you got past the hard part, you've cracked the outer box. It's over for you now if they catch you, so you may as well go all the way. Rip those suckers open and tell us what's inside!!!
And what is this Power Mac 2.0? Do you mean the P58C Powermacs? Maybe Steve will demo the P58C for an hour and hope it's enough to tide developers over until January '04.
I thought they had smaller boxes inside but they seem to just be one box, they MUST be new PMs, nothing else would fit into these boxes. they have the flap handles on the side too.
sorry for being so schitzo I am having to sneak peeks at these and am hanging around WAY too much and should stay away now.
No, not P58C, these must be new PMs as the box is not the same size as the MDD Macs.
I thoughty the top 2 flaps (on a standard PM box) was a seperation between 2 boxes, but these are laying on thier side (so it seems) unless these open from the side? doubt it.
I can't go back now, but I Just (today) got a Panasonic GU87 and will learn to use the camera today
There are only around 6 of these, the rest are smaller DLD boxes as I said before. These must be the display units these are not printed boxes, just brown so even a picture would not be impressive but I will try.
It would suck to have these and not be able to sell them! This has happened before though. And I imagine they could take pre orders to be fulfiled in a week or two.

New hardware, yes.
New 970 Power Macs, no.
Updated *2.0* Power Macs?... perhaps
CONFIR....?

Sorry, these are not 970's. Also I wouldn't expect 970's until around 1Q 2004.

I'll have to disagree. The 970 at he latest will be out by the fall.

Otherwise... it's all too vague. Could be oversized LCD monitors for all we can tell.

X-Stations don't need fancy sound. Or even any sound, really, for that matter.
and releasing 3d workstations at WWDC would be kinda inappropriate.
Those should debut at Siggraph!
Its just the boxes but you can see the size I think..
They have foam that squeaks when I pressed the sides, so I know its not smaller boxes inside!
