on a purely design level i have a hard time believing steve or even johnny were much involved on this one.. strong design has always been a major asset to mac products and although there may have been some goofy ones like the cube or first gen imacs released in the past, those were consumer products. the pro line demands imo a pro/industrial design. the design connection with a trash can is so evident it really begs for ridicule. and it's going to look even worst with all the clutter on your desk caused by all the external connected devices and spaghetti cables plugged in it's back. this is the mac mini follow-up not the new mac pro pro's were waiting for
