~clean Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Uh-oh: Nine fans in this thing. But they're all independently controlled, and in fact, it's a lot quieter. At normal use, it's 35 dBA, which is twice as quiet as the current G4 tower. Handles are still there, but they don't stick out quite as much. They're also the same aluminum as the rest of the enclosure. Thank **** for that. ****ing amazing The mesh on the front acts as an intake, some advanced **** going down here ;) sweet ! .. but 3000 ouch ! hopefully its gonna be quick !

Fusion Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Ships in August??? what is up with that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzla Veteran Posted June 23, 2003 Veteran Share Posted June 23, 2003 Three models. $1999 for the first (1.6/256/80/GeForce). $2399 for middle (1.8/512/160/GeForce). $2999 for the third (2x2.0/512/160/Radeon). As always, you can always custom-configure also. [ 11:31 ] Comparison to Dell's top of the line, a dual Xeon at 3.06 GHz, with similar features. Costs $4,031 from Dell, compared to $2,999 for the top-end G5. "From now on, anyone who tells you Apple's high-end machines are more expensive than PCs," Steve says, "you can tell them where to look." The new G5s ship in August. ****ing compared to a dual 3.06 XEON!!!!!! Jesus ****ing christ!!!!!!!!! There's your 3k right there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 lol. I like the comment about Dell... funny. It would be really nice to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malechai Veteran Posted June 23, 2003 Veteran Share Posted June 23, 2003 Down to 35 dBA...twice as quiet as the latest G4. the "down to" makes me think thats as quiet as it can get. am i reading that wrong? seems to suggest it'll be louder than that on average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLapointe Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 I can allready tell you that Apple will stay with the market share they have now and will not go up anymore because the ones who would buy this have macs to start with. This is a bad step for Apple. I'm a fairly big apple fan but I'm being realistic that no consumer will pay that much for a computer unless they know about it firsthand and that other 90% of the market doesn't so thats that.
