[vitruvius]

hello everybody, its beens centurys since my last post here, but im back with this mockup of the upcoming $·%&·-mac or whatever its called the new "headless imac" hope u like it,

cheers,

Not bad! I have seen some really awful mockups, and this one looks pretty feasable. I don't that that it will be aluminum, that seems to be for pro models only, which a headless mac is not.

It's OK... sort of like a powerbook on its end.
Not entirely sure about the supporting bracket at the base.

I think we're going to eventually see a white plastic-cased machine, though...

Looks very cool, but I think it would be too easy to tip over.

Not bad, but round the corners more, make it white, plastic, and don't show the grill to the fan on the front. Think imac G5/iPod mixed together.

God I hope they don't call it a Mini Mac

 

[edesignuk]

Looks good.

But...it'd fall over ALL THE TIME, and I don't think they'd use the "pro" brushed metal/wire mesh look of the PM G5. Consumer products are white plastic.

What about just "mini" similar to the iPod mini which is now semi-affectionately referred to as "mini".

I think it looks cool, although the above comments about stability and finish I have to agree with.

Nice job.

Not entirely sure about the supporting bracket at the base.

If it is remotely close to this form factor, I would venture to guess that Apple would charge for the support dock

Either way, it will probably be my next mac.

My headless Power Mac G4 is a pro model and is aluminium

Expect this site to lock up then when you do... the ensuing traffic will be triffic.

What's the deal? Or have you signed confidentiality clauses?

It definitely needs to be able to "live" horizontally as well -- the better to inhabit stereo component racks.

I really like the design. Nice work

Only thing I would want to ad would be 2 front USB ports.

But knowing Apple, they will not have any, and put the power button on the back.

update

heres an update,

 

[efoto]

The base looks a little more stable, perhaps fillet the edges though. Sharp corners like that are a no-no (at least in my line of work).

It definately looks like a PBook on edge, but thats a cool look, well done

Nice stuff, I would buy one if I had they money and if they released it
I wish Apple would be a little bit more open about these things...
