New PowerMac Product Photo

image mirror

[edit]

I'll mirror it for about a week then I'll remove it.. maybe earlier if Apple Legal comes after me :p
 
Truthfully, I've seen this before...

A while back someone was flashing some rendurings they had at another site. This one was included about 5 or 6 months ago. Seeing these in more than one place, put a bit more - believe-it-when-I-see-it feeling in my head. Glad we have people that enjoy the rumor mill, cause hey thats what its all about!
 
Since there are two of these threads:confused: I might as well post it here too:

The speaker looks wierd on the top, what about this computer upside down, then the vents would be facing upwards which would work better since heat rises.
 
I merged the threads...

first time I tried that... seemed to work ok...

some duplication :)

why this is fake...

ya know... im usually the first one to say wow maybe this is real but lets examine the picture. crank up your resolution. its obviously not a photgraph. the "drive bays" look awfully like the mouse/trackpad button on the powerbook g4. look at it real close. its one right side up and another one upside down on top of it. the powerbutton is cut and paste onto the picture as well. if you look at the shading, the front of the case would be concave and not flat. nuh uh... not a real picture. i would bet on seeing a white enclosure much like the emacs shell but nothing radically different. too many people are happy with the design.

let me know if anyone sees any other glaring obvious fake parts of this picture. :p
 
You can put as many vents on the top, because heat rises, but you still need vents on the bottom for cool air to enter the case.

It seems that the Apple product line is going all white. The iMac, with its white body and silver neck/logo, the eMac, and now, it looks like the PowerMac. The iBook is half way there, but there is no silver logo/trim.

I think the case looks good, though. It is simple and elegant. It looks better than the original G4's in my opinion. But hey, it's what's inside that counts...

One thing I personally would like to see change are the handles on the bottom. They don't fit with my cpu holder under my desk. It's too curved for the flat holder. I suppose I could cut the holder down a bit, but that's a real pain in the arse. Even if I unscrewed the handles, the curve still causes a problem. Anyway, I don't care that much about the looks of the computer since I'm going to shove it under the desk. But then again if it was really phat looking I might make room on the top.

Have you seen this? It might solve your problem:

They have some very cool rackmount solutions, too.
 
it does resemble the "leaked photo" that apple legal went after so quickly and harshly...

but it is tvery ugly....if you shave off the handles it looks like a PC machine someone would custom build
 
nice but not it!

I saw this photo a few weeks ago...but not with the metal plate in the middle...Great Photoshop skill...:)
 
Ok, I think that this design rocks.

I tell you why,
There is a thread going on here, speculating a quad-G4 (again!)
Somewhat in the middle is a link provided by Sun baked to a post from somebody at arstechnica. here
I feel like he comes up with too many details for making all this up.

Then the puzzle fits, a quad G4 = more heat, we had a thread going on about a very large heatsink.
Extra cooling provided by the new new holes in the enclosure.

oh well, even if it is rumor, an PS pict. It would be cool to see Apple release something that really rocks.
quad-G4 @ 1,2 - 1,4 Ghz.
 
I'd love to have time to make the image, but I don't, so I'll lay the seed of an idea here and see what happens -

The G4x4

the image in my head is making me laugh.....:D
 
ditto, would like to see new form factor

does look smaller, which is good. but was hoping w/ other lines going rectangular, p/m side would follow suit. i, too, hope these are misdirection.

now, the conundrum is... buy? rent? lease?

i could buy an older machine, perhaps a dualie 533 to get me thru and see what happens in JAN, or as rumor has it, FEB-APR.

well, guess we're 2 weeks away from finding out (hopefully!) and then we'll be able to tell more.

still hoping for something like this:
<http://www.applele.com/powerfulmac4_a.jpg>
or even beboxenish:
<http://www.applele.com/powerfulmac3_a.jpg>
or even better this
<http://www.applele.com/powerfulmac_r7a.jpg>
which is just brilliant. cd/dvd hidden, easy to do either orientation.
 
ha, that applele site has some nice designs - I wouldn't mind seeing some of those - but I'm betting we won't see anything like those - they look nice, but they would be a bit pricey to build.

There wouldn't happen to be an english version of that site?

PIC IS BOGUS -- SORRY!

By everyones past experience, I'm sure we can all be rest assured, that this pic is BOGUS.

Reason being, it is still there. We all know that Apple actually does watch the rumor sites, and because they are really good at spotting mis-information, they do attack rapidly.

Oh well, nothing to lose sleep over. Besides, Anticipation is the best part of the Keynote, or finding out just before the keynote what is to be released and to see if what you found out was true. Finding out waaay before hand doesn't even make you feel like you had wind in your sails to begin with.

Enough of my blabbering
