Would you at least tell us when to expect the new towers,
and if GigaWire has been incorporated?
Plus, what do the front vents, 4" variable speed turbine fan
and very large 7 lb. heat sink mean in terms of processor,
and is the box at least quieter?
Thanks for the info, for this is a rumour site where everybody is invited to share his info.
Other people, who accuse should not vivist these sites, but stay with "facts".
People like you keep this thing alive, even if some of them are only joking.
Go on, we'd like to hear more

Dialog is essencial to make people understand eachother. We discuss rumors, we expose our opinions. Future PowerMac's is one thing that we all would like to know more about.
I do hope that the next time you're the one who should ****!

Are you saying that lots of people are involved in case design, but that few know specs. Or are you saying that there are multiple configurations around and if you quote yours you will identify yourself?
Please ignore that ignorant and rude post.
Most insider information comes from people who either don't post to these forums or make just one or two very rare posts. If true insiders were to post regularly the would soon give themselves away.
That is funny!
First time provoked a little bit and he's pouting!Yeah... come on folks! Blame it all on me now when we'll never hear from him again!
In fact he was posting the PDF AFTER spymac had an article up about it! 4 a.m. on spymac, 8 a.m. here... and he was claiming to be the person who did the PDF, informing arn as the first person... how comes that spymac had it up since for hours already?? I don't think that arn would give the info to spymac first before he's putting it up.
I am still sure he didn't see the prototype at all, he just found the PDF somewhere else before and wanted to be the hero for one night!
If he's already telling the whole world about the new cases (don't forget that he included a detailed PDF) there is no problem for him to also tell more about the specs! At this time Apple must be producing already the machines, if they really want to release them in August. There must be dozens of people now outside of Apple who know about the specs but are not allowed to talk about it. If he's staying anonynmous I don't see at all how that could bring him into danger, especially since he said something about the AGP slot that could have just the same effect (to uncover his identity)...
His only purpose was getting attention and making people begging him to tell more. Screw that! If he has to tell us something, fine! If not he shouldn't make the people believe he's in the inner circle at Apple Corp. and knows about all the details the folks are lingering for here, even he doesn't know anything...
Oh... and one more thing!
I put a
behind my last sentence. I am pretty sure that most of the people know what that means! If not... their problem!groovebuster
Exactly! And since he was just posing to have info he wouldn't share with us he just confirmed that he wouldn't tell us anyway. So what is the big deal now?
There are the following possibilities:
1) He doesn't know sh*t about the specs and therefore can't tell us anything.
2) He knows something but is not willing at all to talk about it.
In both cases the outcome is the same. We won't hear any details from him. As I said in my post before I don't believe that he knows anything about the specs. That he was leaving right away after teasing him a little bit is an obvious sign for taking the opportunity to get out of the situation. I wonder anyway why he would come to a forum like macrumors to tell the world about the news he discovered. There must be a connection. I bet he is a regular of macrumors but just subscribed again to stay anonymous.
Whatever...

P.S.: You forgot the
behind ****, so I tend to take it personal now!

Exactly why I don't believe him to be an "insider" at all...
An insider would never make some PDFs himself (in CorelDraw!!) and share them on a rumors site. People like that always stay in the background and just provide the right people with the right information once in a while, but would never start posting themselves this way.
Anyway... he's gone now! If it makes you all feel better you can hate me from now on! I don't care!

Re: Re: pics
Nobody agreed that the cases are white in that picture. It's obviously the glow from the table!Originally posted by groovebuster
That's cool! It is almost exactly what I predicted when the rumors said the new cases would be white!

Where can I pick up my reward???

Maybe someone should learn about camera flashes when taking pictures of shinny plastic computers. That powermac looks like the same color as a quicksilver washed out by the flash or by lights.Originally posted by groovebuster
So you wonna tell me that the parts of the case in the picture are the same color as the silver parts of my Quicksilver???
BULL-SH*T!!!!
The contrasts and the b/w ratio look pretty fine in the picture. The case is WHITE in that picture! Maybe you should make an appointment with your eye doctor!

That still doesn't prove anything... why would he put the PDFs on himself, if he's so concerned about staying anonymous?
Whatever...
groovebuster
Then maybe you can show me the part of the front panel of the Quicksilver case that is shiny! Have fun searching.
BTW... on that french website they were all talking about it to be white. Interesting, huh?

Well... last time I checked it said:
All times are GMT. The time now is 04:28 PM.
That this is an hour ahead is right indeed.

in the picture the board says copyright 2001. seems like this picture may just be one of the many steps towards their final design.....and god I hope so, that thing is horrid. dont get me wrong. if it had a G5 in it Id still buy it
i dont think that could work... ide only accepts 4 devices as a standard... any more would be kinda hard on the system to keep running -- theyd go pretty slow.. unless apple really worked on and developed ide... which i dont see happeninge...
I noticed the same... even this is a late prototype it means that Apple had this baby almost finished since last year. Combine that with fact that a lot of rumors are going 'round since end of last year that Motorola finished the G5 and could start delivering at any given time I tend to believe the people now who claimed that Apple is holding back the new chip on purpose.
If that is the case I don't knwo what to think about it. Probably even the OS before 10.2 isn't able to run on a G5 (not to mention OS 9).
It would the second time in Apple's history that they have the hardware ready, but not the software. Do you people remember the first PowerMacs runnning System 7.1.2??? That was horrible! Probably they have the same problem now switching with the whole OS to the next processor generation.
I don't believe that the transition to MacOS X makes them holding back the new technology as a main reason. they could still have a performant G4 for those people who still need the G4/MacOS9.
I don't know... I guess I am not sure about that one.

Damn, groove, can you not have a normal conversation with people! Do you have access to the private forums? No, then don't assume you know everything that goes on around here. You can debate the rumor without offending the person.
