The Mac Pro has arrived...

[Darren S]

Hat's off to Apple - they definitely know how to make a decent case! I'm hoping the guys will leave it alone for the time being until the other bits arrive.

There's the 4GB of memory, 2x 500GB drives and an ATi X1900XT on the way - the gfx card being the last to arrive towards the end of next week.

I think the side-facing HDD trays is a superb idea and the internals look very well thought-out indeed.

I'll let you know what they think of it when it's fully installed with CS3....

I'll try and get some up some - lol!

It was funny yesterday. I got the Mac Pro sent up to the building where it's being located on a flat-bed trolley and then bobbed up there an hour or two later.

The three Mac-guys up there had it on a table, side cover off and deep in conversation. They all had that expression of 4-year-olds sat around the pressies on Christmas Day!!! ROFL!
