Are you buying a Mac Pro immediately?

[FF_productions]

Just wondering how many people are going to be jumping for one of these machines when it is released..

 

[xfiftyfour]

i wish..haha

 

[mkrishnan]

I have no interest in one, but I hope they're great for all of you who are feeling the lust.

I would love to get one but I'm 16 and don't have a job yet so I can't afford one...yet

i feel no need at all to change up from my current G5 as a desktop.

it has yet to be unable to handle ANYTHING i have thrown at it.

I'm waiting to see what's announced and how much the entry level model will cost.

My iMac G5 has served me well, however I'm interested in running Windows XP through Parallels/BootCamp and additional hard drive/expansion slots (two hard drive spaces in the existing G5 is not enough).

I have a buyer for my iMac G5 and some funds, so I'm pretty much set to go.

Must...render....faster......I got the money from the sale of my Quad in a very handsome warchest...bring on the top of the line Mac Pro BABY!!!!

I would LOVE one, but I don't need it... yet. My PowerBook is a great computer. It may not be as fast as the new Intel machines, but it's definitely chugging along.

That doesn't mean I am not looking forward to seeing them being introduced... because I am. And I can't wait!

First of all, even G5s are out of my price range.

Plus I am not interested. Maybe my next machine.

Fact: Without diplays, a G5 can cost $20000 USD and up.

did you add an extra 0 in there?

 

[Oryan]

As much as I would like the latest Mac, I'm going to hold on to my G5 and build my own Core 2 Duo Vista/Linux system within the next year. You can never have too many computers.

No, that's the price with two 30 inchers.

 

[xfiftyfour]

No, that's the price with two 30 inchers.

even with 2 30" ACDs it doesn't come near 20k! unless of course you max everything out from apple..

Add in all the toys: 16GB ECC RAM, X Swerver unlimited clients, wireless, modem, fancy Quadro FX card, 1TB of disk, and Applecare, and you really do top $18K without a display.

well sure but who would buy 16GB of RAM from Apple

no, I guess if that's what he meant - maxing the system out completely from Apple, then it does get close to 20k. seems a silly comment to make though.

 

[twoodcc]

if i had the money i would do it......but i don't

 

[mduser63]

I have the money (that's unusual for me!), and could do it, but won't. I got an iMac middle of June, and already have a perfectly usable Power Mac G5. When it's time to upgrade my Power Mac, which will be when it will no longer run the latest version of FCS, I'll get an Intel Power Mac, but not until then.

 

[Koodauw]

I won't be jumping right in, but the plan atm is to pick one up in October-ish. I have no qualms about a Rev. A.

 

[gekko513]

None of the above. I don't need one at the moment.
