Probably not but I am getting more desperate by the hour.

that's pretty ugly.

Thanks for the translation.

I assume the trap door is for USB and Firewire ports. Maybe a HD bay though?

Looks somewhat similar to a case Micron used sometime back. The drive bays were different though.

If this were true, I would have to see a better pic though.

Or rather:

The powermac G4 quicksilver is dead, long live the new WHITE design, in iPod/iBook/eMac style.

The entry level model is now 1 GHz. It will have a GeForce 4MX card and a 60GB hard disk.

The mid and high end models become dual processor machines, with clock speeda of 1.2 and 1.4GHz respectively. They will be equipped with a GeForce 4 Ti as well as one or two 80GB drives.

The new case allows for more hard disk bays...

Prices remain the same.

Specs are within reason though.

I would hope the lowend tower gets a Superdrive as well.

No mention of FSB or DDR ram though.

I think it's fake, I remember that they did the same last time . They claimed to have the specs and also the new SKU's . After checking the SKU out, it came out that those were numbers of existing machines . Does anybody else rember this, I'm sure it was that same site .

BTW, the case is hardly attractive, Apple could do better .

the buttons/speaker/whatever they are on the front look out of proportion. so i call mock-up. i.e could be close to what we get, but thisn't exactly it... :cool:

cobra · July 15, 2002 9:01AM

Yeah, a towers attractiveness is WAY more important than its functionality.

Maybe except there seems to be no speaker, and it has some sort of a trap door.

If you just chopped off the handles, it would not look like this. The color and bay doors are what really seem the same.

So, did anyone notice, that's EXACTLY what the guy at railheaddesign posted on his site. I think it just got lifted from there.

apple.otaku · July 15, 2002 9:34AM

Looks like a photoshop job to me and not a very good one at that.

Its butt ugly.

I like the picture of the other "new" case floating around the web. Its the one that shows the case similar to xserve's and with some ports in the lower front area.

Those specs match exactly what RailHeadDesign.com has posted. Yeah that's just a coincidence!
