Who is waiting for the new i7 Mac Pros?

[FreeStream]

Rumors are that its Q1 2009, which gives me enough time to save up for my perfect spec:

3/3.2Ghz Quad (Don't need 8 physical cores, don't see the point for lightroom!)
4Gb (maybe 8Gb) ram
HD4870/GTX260/280
300Gb Velociraptor - OSX/Apps/Winblows
2x1Tb - Data + Time Machine

YUM

So who else is in the waiting boat?

I guess this is the 2009 Mac Pro speculation thread too

I was waiting but i have been waiting for a Mac Pro revision for so long that i have moved on!

I will be very intrigued to find out what specs it's going to have!

If I had the money now I still wouldn't buy, I missed out a MBP revision by a week

i7 Xeon is released Jan so feb/march for a Mac Pro with them...

Yes, Im not totally impressed with the cost.

But I don't want a PC seeing as everything I own is OS X (apart from Autodesk) and there is no point in an iMac.

Sadly, leaves me with only one choice.

I wish Apple would release a low end Mac Pro with desktop, not server components.

But thats not going to happen

Oh ands its going to be used for CAD, coding and Photography work so not totally just a home desktop

I'll wait until Snow Leopard ships before getting a Mac Pro (if it were me).

They're plenty powerful, but the software just doesn't utilise the multiple cores. I'd say a top spec iMac would run most people's requirements, but then no one likes having an iMac when they have the cash for the Mac Pro

An iMac is hardly an improvement from a updated Macbook Pro really and I already have a 24" TFT. Edit: AND A top iMac is roughly the same as my Mac Pro spec

Mac Pro it is
