Very odd that there was no change in the look of the Pro Series. Ive heard some say that there possibly will be a change after Leopard but who knows. This transition to intel didnt really make a big look difference, only the laptops changed!
Personally im not dissapointed cause its a pretty cool case i just hope its even less noisy! :D
 
Things changed on the inside, however. The new Mac Pro seems to make more efficient use of space. It is a huge case- with great potential. Four hard drives can now be installed.
 
Trading 6 fans for extra hard drive and optical drive space seems a pretty good change. Other than weight, I don't think there was anything wrong with the case.

Hopefully, it will be reliable.
 
I think it was sorta the point?

It's like saying, look, we're still Macs. New insides, but we're still Macs. (exception of the Macbook though).

Anyone care to take odds on first "Mac Pro caught fire and burned out my dorm room / study / home" thread? :p

Considering this group, anything is possible. :p
 
As a matter of interest, what were the major issues when the G5 tower was first released? Seeing as the innards have been considerably re-engineered it seems possible that history might repeat itself.

U mean that this "new" case will bring up problems?
I cant remember the probs that the first 1.6 G5s had, anyone caring to remind?
