yes, the O2 was pretty cute, but my favorite was the octane with the light stipe across the front, it just felt massive with not much wasted space inside. We had access to one of those on the school i attended in the late 90's with Maya v1,5, with all extensions added. But no one really understood how to use it :-D

For all its corny looks, it does have a bit of that old 90's SGI coolness. Well maybe that is what makes it look so corny, it looks like something SGI designed in the 90's :-D

But only 4 ram slots? that is going to be seriously expensive to get up to a workable amount. Minimum 64GB i would say for AE work. And does it have 2 or 1 CPUs? and will the new E5 Xeons that come out later this year have 12cores when the current have max 8 cores?

well.... at least it doesnt look like my current Z820 wont the seriously outdated anytime soon with this macpro :-)

"Workstation class" is such a vague term.... You can have that with an iMac or any coreXi based PC for that matter. The days where you need Xeons to differntiate yourself performance-wise from "ordinary" desktop PCs are long gone. Point in case: Unless you extensively exploit the hardware with its 12 cores by throwing a 3D program at it or plug in those three 4k monitors to make the GPUs glow in the dark, you won't know the difference.

I don't care what it is called or how looks as long as it performs 'workstation class' great CPU and gpu wise

And runs osx ;-)

Somehow I think it will be priced more aggressively than the 'old' Mac Pro. I hope so.
