Personally I wish they did this as another anniversary mac. And just updated the mac pro line.

My video department are kinda concerned about this. all my co workers home machines have updated video cards. The ones in the mac pro look pretty proprietary
- Proprietary and pretty beefy. Enough power for several 4K display out of the box, tons of memory.monospaced

I think it looks pretty swish. I also think it looks like a kinky butt plug. How much will one of these mutha fuckkas cost? £5000 maybe? FUCK THAT!!!!!!
- Does this bitch not play DVD's?chossy
- your dvd player, ps3, x-box, roku, toilet and refrigerator all play dvds, you've probably got that coveredscarabin
- Yeah but does it play DVD's I want to author a DVD then check it works.chossy
- Yeh chossy, Considering mac pros are very likely to be used for video production, a DVD drive seems like a sensible request.Hombre_Lobo
- idea.chossy
- all macs still dont play blue rays. I think theyve given up on optical mediaerr
- It's fucking 2013, nobody authors DVDs anymore.monospaced

It's always so amusing to read comments by these armchair geniuses that know everything. Yeah, it is an expensive computer, and yeah, only certain people need or want it. But I LOVE reading the opinions of techno-lemmings who, at best, have pushed their own computers processing speeds as much as it takes to use email and the a few web browsers.

Hard drives belong outside. with 6 thunderbolt 2 ports you can daisy chain 36 devices. Is that enough expansion for you? The old towers are huge, I mean they're fucking huge.. and that's a lot of wasted space. Reduce it to the essential and attach externals as necessary..
- <, < and thrice <detritus
- I'm working on this project that requires 37 devices, all at the same time.nb
- the fug are you working on?pango
- Lol @nb that's funny.monospaced
- ... and how do I migrate my current hardware? oh right, MORE money wasted.zarkonite

Say what you want about the exterior design, the engineering aesthetic underneath and microsite are pretty damn slick.

I wonder how future-proof it is. Will you be able to add a processor expansion box to it?
- no computer is future proofscarabin
- Duh... I am curious how, not whether or not.raf
- nope. But it has 2 Xeons FFSanimatedgif

@ prophetone & err
Exactly what I've been thinking, reminds me so much of the "Workstation" days where companies would pay a fortune for a stupidly powerful cool looking box. Dreamed of using computers like that as a kid so this is the first Apple product since the Alu iMac that I've been excited about.
Next Cube is so fucking gorgeous

BLAH BLAH BLAH RIPOFF RIPOFF blah blah blah. These arguments and topics are so frivolous.
Every last one of you have ripped something off or gathered inspiration from somewhere. Also I'm sure most of you read which means you are all not as original as you might think. Que the insulting comments and animated gifs...
- BLAAAMMMO!monospaced
- The only difference is, that we do call ourselves "mavericks" or "geniuses" like Apple.utopian
- "Cue".i_monk
- "Cue." Period goes inside quotes.BozMan
- Mavericks is a location. If you want to hate, at least know what you're hating.ESKEMA
- It's also a word, with a meaning attached to it.zarkonite
- The meaning attached is that its' a surf spot called Mavericks, which is near Cupertinomonospaced
