Am i the only one that thinks the new mac pro is a nice looking pc?

[julekule]

hi, i know a lot of people are making fun of the mac pro for looking like a trash can. but i think it looks quit good. 

 

it is expensive but i dont think it is overprized at all. 

 

if you think u can make somthing better for 3k please put a pcpart picker list in your comment

 

[XTankSlayerX]

Built in Texas isn't it? Then its "Overpriced".

 

As far as I know, prices start @ 3K

[Izaya Orihara]

I don't like BUT (!) i am impressed by the formfactor.

[Frix]

Probably.

[TheSLSAMG]

It's a rather good looking machine, and compared to other prebuilts in it's class, it's a good value as well.

This looks pretty ugly,but the form factor is great.Meanwhile, the insides look awesome:

[Kilmer02]

It is tailored to a specific audience. It isnt meant to appeal to (and this is my personal opinion) anyone in our demographic. The form factor is incredible but with its price, thats all that it has going for it.

i think the out side looks great

[davcc22]

it is difent and for that i give it an awsome in my books will it chage the world nope but diffent and sexy wile doing it hell yeah

[Dayone]

I think the issue is the top is indented. I like the idea of a little cylinder, it's pretty cool, but that indented top is what makes it look like a bin.

This is way better than that stupid mac

"this is way better the that stupid mac"

In What gaming, 3d rendering, computing, video editng,

[DoubleY]

why no ecc memory and no quadro/firepro cards

I don't think PCPP has ecc mem, and no quadro/firepro because 2 780's with cuda acceleration is amazing. And this computer makes a kick ass gaming PC

"this is way better the that stupid mac"

Everything. And it won't sound like a vacuum, even with the 750d's stock fans

the problem with not using firepro or quadro cards is the reliability.

computing on no firepro or quadro cards. is just stupid

and the mac pro dosen sound like a vacum cleaner

[DoubleY]

the problem with not using firepro or quadro cards is the reliability.

The 780's come from EVGA, they know about reliability. Besides, what do you even mean? Do you think that GeForce cards die out faster or something? There are plenty of people who still use GTX 265's and don't have issues.

Fine, this replaces the 2 780's and make the overall price of the PC cheaper

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133485

The max pro sounds like a vacuum. It has 1 fan to dissipate the heat of a Xeon and 2 AMD gpu's

It either runs dangerously hot or like a vacuum

how many 265 hav been running at 100% since they got them. and yes geforce cards dies faster then quadro cards
