Hmm, I have to be honest, nice looking wasn't really my first thought. The first picture I saw of it my first reaction was along the lines of "why would anyone make a computer look like a trash can?" Now that I've seen a few more shots, I'd change trash can to ash tray. The old Mac Pro wasn't stylish, but I'm not overly convinced that most people that choose a Mac Pro really feel that it *needs* to be overly stylish. I guess the real question is going to be whether mac pro users are going to like the 2 to 3 other boxes they're going to have to have with it if they need to do any expansion.

Performance obviously should be pretty good, but I wonder if it's enough for the premium that Apple is going to want for this. I'd guess minimum starting price is going to be around $2500. I've got two users in my department that do actually use mac pros, it'll be interesting to see what their reaction is.
