Excellent! I have been waiting for months for them to come out with the new MacPro. Thanks for the post. :jump:

That's a good question, John. What I'm thinking is that you can now use your computer as both an imaging workstation and a space heater.

Impressive, but not cheap!! I configured my dream system and it came to $9000 - Ouch!!!! But, like you say Guy, it might cut down on my heating bills. :wink:

Thanks Darren, I was aware the monitors went down in price, but I thought this was the next big upgrade as the MacPro was the only one in the line not to have a Core 2 Duo chip. I am certainly willing and able to wait a couple more months, I appreciate the insight.

This is just ridiculous. As someone said "there will be too many men standing there with nothing to do".
