    Yummy!

    Just noticed this update...

    Heh, 11k for the two quad core Xeons, 16GB of ram, 4x 750 GB HDD, and a quad-channel fibre card.

    Too bad this baby can't use SLI/crossfire... But man, I'd love to have one of these as my main desktop.

    *drooool*

    Supposedly they've been working on adding SLI support to the Mac Pro, so it's probably eventually going to show up.

    Yeah, that would be nice.
    But I really don't see server mobo's coming out that support SLI.

    What Apple really needs to do is come out with a C2D machine thats just like the MacPro. Just.. you know.. without the Xeon and server mobo.

    But I'm curious what Fibre Channel their using... I have yet to find one that runs on PCI-Express. All the ones I've seen are on PCI-X :-/

    BTW, same post time :-D
