Look what I just bought (pics)!! - UPDATED

Howdy,

I'm sure some of you are aware I was awaiting (anxiously) the new Mac Pros to be released (hence the sig.. which will change). Well I thought I'd give Apple Stroe bluewater a ring today to see WHEN they where getting any in... low and behold, they had 3 in! So I jumped in the motor and went straight down there to grab one... Im not £1749 lighter, but what can ya do

Heres two pics... sorry the second is a bit shaky... I had to take non-flash picture!

Excited isnt the word... I've not even got Leopard on my MacBook Pro simply cos I was wating for this, so Im excited bout that too!

Anyone else ordered/getting one of these badboys?

I'll be getting one in June, until then, I envy you :o

Are you upgrading anything? And why didn't you get a ACD, it's the law :p
 
ACD? Everything is abbreviated these days, whats that? Cinema Display maybe?
 
Two reasons, I only got my 30" Dell 3007 a few months back, and also, I hear the cinema displays will be getting updated soon (with built in iSights?!?!) so I wouldn't buy one til then if that was the case.

There is another reason, I do have a bit of dough, but not that much, cos I would HAVE to go the 30" one!
 
You have more self control than any other man I know I would have had it ripped out of the box 5 seconds after getting in the door
 
^^ So would I, hell I would take a day of work :o

Ahh yeah, fair do's. I would expect they will be updated at MacWorld 08, well hopefully.

Don't forget to take pics when it's unboxed. :)

And enjoy!
 
Congratulations!! I now I REALLY want one :(

Suppose it'll give me a good reason to save up for one when they're updated next..

Already bought you one, its in the post :)

Yeah I want to rip it out the box, but I need to make room for it, plus I am still using my Vista machine most of the time at the mo (sorry!) so I need to move files aswell. Got so much to do, so gonna do it over the weekend... plus I gotta setup my new wireless router (on wired at mo) so I can use the wireless for my MBP. Gonna be busy!

I have opened the box though, cos I wanted to double check that the new Mac Pros come with the new keyboard... and they do

But I'm still to remove the actual machine... so happy they didnt update the design of it, cos I think the Mac PRos are beautiful machines!

I'd be doing backflips by now (if I hadn't opened it).

I hope they don't change the design anytime soon.. I love that enclosure! :D
 
Nice! I can only echo the other comments, how can you not open it up and turn that baby on?!?! Whenever i get anything new i open that box withing 30 seconds of the delivery driver giving it to me!
 
These benchmarks against the last Mac Pro might prove good reading for you keogh! :D

My iMac had a GeekBench32 score of 3861!

Yeah I had a butchers at that EVH, was quite happy with those benchmarks tbh!

I still haven't removed it out of the box, I've not even looked at the machine yet... could be a G4 for all I know :) The reason I havent taken it out is cos I will want to set it all up, and thats gonna take ages, and once I start I wont stop til its done. So I'm leaving it til tomo evening :)

Also, for those thinking of getting a Mac Pro... you could go to your local Apple store, as they might have them in like mine did. But, not sure if it means anything, but my Mac Pro says it was "Assembled in Ireland" therefore, if you order it online, you might get it in a few days, opposed to a few weeks?

I'll add the unboxing pics to the thread opener when I have unboxed it, so watch this space if you are interested!
