Vote MacPros design

[zoran]

The poll made by this forum regarding the MacPros new design wasnt giving enough options, so here is my prospective!

 

[puckhead193]

wut about making it smaller.....

 

[iBrow]

No.3 me thinks.

 

[NATO]

Keep the same size, weight, style and material, just add a few more USB/Firewire ports and maybe a memory card reader. Do this, and I'll be happy

I chose #2...The existing G5 case is dead sexy...'nuff said.

 

[iGary]

It would be nice if it didn't weigh nearly 60 pounds.

 

[dmw007]

I think that #3 is the best option. I love the look of the Power Mac G5's case, but a few enhancements could stand to be made.

 

[celebrian23]

I voted #1 but I really want #5. I want to be wowed.

Give me something new to look at! So far everything looks pretty much the same this year, so I doubt they'll actually change anything this year. I get the impression Apple are doing the transition in 2 stages. First move the new chips in and then next year start redesigning everything. I suppose it helps with transitions such as this due to product familiarity.

Didnt vote, didnt see anything I liked. Bring me the all new Cube enough of radiators.

A new Cube would be nice.

Come on Apple, bring the Cube back to us!

I voted for a change in G5's casing, though it doesn't matter as I'll never get (read: be able to afford) one...

Heh, I'm suddenly reminded of the chaos following WWDC '03.
"Cheese Graters??!?"
"G5's are fugly!"

Apple is brainwashing us...

 

[Heb1228]

I like the look of the G5, just give it to me at about 70% (or less) of the size and weight. #3 for me.

But isn't it fun!

 

[zoran]

hmm 3 vs 4 and its a neck a neck fight there!
Looks like i was correct in pitting another option in there!

 

[count chocula]

i voted number 3. the current g5 powermacs look pretty nice, but theres always room for improvement.

 

[FF_productions]

I went with keeping the good old G5 look. I don't know how Apple can really make it any better on the outside, they would really have to shock me.

I dont know about that, to tell you the truth apple keeps surprising us, still i voted for 3 too only because i havent satiated yet with the G5model and not thati dont believe that apple can give something new better/nicer!

 

[zoran]

come on guys, keep voting, lets send a message!

I was just looking at my QuickSilver G4 the other day and thinking how beautiful it really is. On the other-hand, I always like the idea of something newer and cooler that hasn't been thought of yet.

 

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

I really hope Apple blow us away with something new with an unbelievable cool and sensible design. I never really liked the look of the Power Mac G5s. How about a cross between the Power Mac G3 "smurfbox" or the Power Mac G4 and the Mac mini with easy user friendly access for replacing all vital parts?

 

[steamboat26]

Every generation they have made significant changes, so they should continue that trend.
However, on the other hand- the design of the iMac didn't change from the G5 to the Intel...

 

[zoran]

Well the smaller and more powerfull, that should be it... a minimacPRO, very powerfull.

 

[w_parietti22]

I voted something from scratch... but I still want it to be alluminum. I agree with the more USB. (4+) Firewire 400 (2) and a Fireewire 800 (1). cards slots would be nice but not all of them... just the most common. (MiniSD/Sony and CF Card would be good.) I like the "holes" in the front... something smaller and lighter would be good.

 

[Scarlet Fever]

i love the current design, as i loved most of the G3-4 designs. But i dont want to see any of them in the MacPro. New designs please!
