Apple Release new Hardware Today

Personally im quite happy with my Mac Pro 2009 purchase, I was thinking of upgrading this to a W3570/3580 (3.2/3.33Ghz) CPUs but if Sandy Bridge is around next year I may just wait for that instead.
 
Apples pricing is getting worse and worse I think. I'd love to get my hands on some of that gear but having just built a 4Ghz i5 machine for £800ish it really isn't worth the extra for an iMac.
 
I'd quite like an HD5870 for my Mac Pro, I'm terrified of what they're going to charge for it though...... I'll hazard a guess at £500. In which case I'll be picking up one of the GTX 285's.

Also no, I'm not wanting to purchase a card and flash it. :D
 
Apple can charge whatever the hell they want and enough people will pay up. Sucks for those who aren't rich or don't have grandmothers to sell! :D
 
Expensive doesn't even begin to cover it! One of these things pimped out costs more than my car! And crucially (around) 2* the equivalent PC spec.
 
I gave up on updating the gfx for my 08 mac pro, just switched to windows and threw a 5770 in there, haven't looked back, except to laugh at the ridiculous prices for the 'upgrade kits'.
 
Just ordered the i7 imac:
