Ok, it looks like a trash can, but...
We use PCs, where card vs mobo layout is pretty uncool for today's power-hungry computers. It was ok 2-30 years ago, and now we're buying huge cases to deal with airflow issues, especially high static pressure requirements for graphics cards, and as a result of this - noise. A lot of space is not used properly, and they had guts to design something on their own. Of course they could, as it's Apple. If a PC manufacturer did that, they'd be blamed for ditching the standards etc. Let's not forget, that Dell has been using custom heatsinks for a long time, and the components were standardized.
Of course the price is inflated, upgrade possibilities are poor, and the heatsink is definitely not enough for this computer running at full power (it'll overheat and throttle, as Macs do in general).
I think that there should be some new cases made, where you can easily use PCI-E risers in order to give the end user more flexibility when installing components.

All jokes aside that thing is a monster for the size of it. Couldn't build a mini itx system even close to those specs in that small form.
To bad the price is so insane, $13,000 for top of the line......

How many would consider buying one if it looked like this?

Why not many bought them when they looked like this:

Mac Pro unboxing. It's smaller than I thought it would be.

Problem is price, i could buy a lot better pc with this kind of money.

I think it's a fantastic piece of engineering. Incredible amount of power in that tiny form factor.

They better could have made the case transparant, then it looks a bit like R2D2 🙂
I think the idea of the cilinder is quite nice, but the design as is, isn't convincing (hence the trash-can remarks)
