I also do not understand the need to make these machines smaller. They don't use the visual design tricks of other case manufacturers to make the unit seem smaller, and are about the same size as other machines of similar processing power. Inside, they are full size workstation machines, holding 2 optical drives, 4 hard drive bays, and quite a bit of memory and card expansion.
I don't think we will see a huge visual change in the design for a while; realize most of the "design" on a mac pro is on the inside, and the machine is completely different than the G5 predecessors internally. I would welcome a visual change, but I dont feel the machine looks particularly dated or out of place with the rest of the Apple Line-up.

You don't
I thought everyone placed their Mac Pro in the middle of the room on a pedestal with spotlights aimed at it. I keep mine in a shiny glass case with spotlights aimed from the ceiling.
The only issue is those darn cords that run across my floor to the desk.
I thought everyone kept their machines in the spotlight. After-all, isn't your Mac the center of your universe?
.... Not really. But, surely there are some who do. Personally, I care more about function that pretty. I'd be perfectly happy if the Mac Pro still came in a beige box like the old G3 and pre-G3 systems. As long as it's reliable, who cares what the box looks like.
I guess now I understand the appeal of bluetooth mice and keyboards!
I'll be buying a Mac Pro when they ship with modern video cards. It doesn't make any sense that this will happen until after Leopard, though, because Apple would want to avoid having to support Tiger with the new drivers they'll need for the next generation of cards. If you ask me (and I realize that nobody did) this is a large part of why we haven't seen more modern graphics cards all summer. I'd bet that Apple had planned to release new graphics cards before now, but pushing back Leopard's release has prevented them from doing so.
Exactly, I think that if leopard wasn't delayed until now, we would have seen updated Mac Pros (new cards)
That's why apple owes us. Hopefully for this Leopard delay, we get some new MacPros with it or at least 1-2 weeks after.
Can we closed this thread now?
I know right. Looks like we are getting new MacPros very very soon.
Revision Dates?
Does anyone have the exact revision dates on Mac Pro's? The average time in between revisions? Has Apple ever really held an event for Mac Pro's? Do you think they will be released in the background on October 14th with the release of the all new notebooks?
Give me a sign!

Here's a sign. THIS THREAD PREDATES THE PENRYN MAC PROS. There will be Nehalem Mac Pros the Tuesday before MacWorld 2009 in January.
Or thereabouts.
That's what happens when google brings up forum threads on the first pageTalk about resurrecting and old thread! Notice the 2007
And if history has taught us anything expect the Mac Pro 1-3 months after other big companies start offer workstations. So while Macworld, or around then might be appropriate and seem logical, it may be as far away as March.
I wouldn't put 100% faith in this bet.
They could just as easily let them go around for another year, they did it last time.
The "last time" you are talking about they only had expensive quad cores as an update, there was nothing to upgrade to but quad core, which they added.
All of their lines are up to date within 3 months of the released hardware. While that's a terrible time delay, it's the way it is.
The Mini doesn't count for the 3 month rule
Personally, I love larger cases. It leaves lots of room for more upgrades, and makes it much, much easier to replace components.
A smaller case would make it extremely difficult to change the internal components. Not everyone has small little fingers, you know.

I thought MacWorld was for consumers not professionals? Have they ever announced a Pro at MacWorld?
I see Nehalem Mac Pros in Q1 2009. I don't see a MWSF release because MWSF is for new Macs or at the very least redesigns.
