Hmm, based on what Steve said, I guess I now need to open mouth, insert foot, close mouth, chew :-). In any event, I think the new design is quite classy looking, but what I really like is the statement on the PowerMac Design page that reads (my emphasis added):
Quote:
As a result, the Power Mac G5 runs three times quieter than the previous Power Mac G4 enclosure.
Anyone wanna buy a G4/733 for, um, $2999? ;-)

Actually, strangely coincidental though it may seem, I have a G4/800 going for exactly the same price ;)

Hmm, guess my thought that they sneaked the new specs on purpose was a mistake ... open mouth, insert foot, bite :-). Oh well!

Anyway, I find the new design quite classy looking. But what I really liked what this quote on the PowerMac Design page (my emphasis added):

If that's measured against the "newest" quieter G4s, that could make for a very quiet machine, indeed!

On the whole, I'd say they (the G5's) don't suck. And I'm still not convinced the leak wasn't deliberate. ;)

As far as Panther goes, I think the Xcode tools are pretty sweet; and the builtin replacement for Distiller may turn out to be quite the thing.

I remain a little less convinced about the iTunes Finder, although the 'find' speed sure looked impressive.

I'm thinking many of the new features will require Quartz Extreme to be useful. There was no notion of system requirements mentioned that I can tell.
