obscenely beautiful execution of tech though

It is, hands down, the prettiest and most expensive ash tray I have ever seen.

It was funny, until i looked up the prices of "Boxx"! OH MY SOUL!!!!

Ya, that Boxx company is just as, if not more ridiculous than Apple hardware.

I like this commercial, but Boxx workstations are basically just a rackmount server with nVidia quadro/tesla cards and a remote PCoIP card. If money is no limit, I can build you an 80-core workstation with 2TB ram and 200TB of storage. (probably about 6kW of power required). You'd have to run Windows 2012 Server to support that much ram though (8.1 pro only supports 512GB)
EDIT: with recently released Xeon E7v2, can have 8*15-core, so 120 cores, and 4TB ram...


Most of their arguments are ATI vs nVidia and Windows vs Mac OS X.

I got to unbox a MacPro two weeks ago, they are quite nice, small, easy to open (flip 1 switch, then lift). What's different about seeing them in person is how shiny it is - all the images made it seem kinda flat black, but it's very glossy. The internal SSD could sustain 900+ MB/s (both read and write) on the Blackmagic benchmark tool. Really impressive. Attach a thunderbolt Drobo, and you are set for storage capacity.

I'm a fan boy and his was still nicely done as a put down lol

Not being able to run 3ds Max is the only upside a Mac has

Requiring a whole bunch of external boxes and connectors to do something kinda basic like add storage space kind of negates the point of having a very tiny/pretty computer.
