Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
Its a workstation system with FirePro GPUs, of course it wont be very good for gaming.
Check the first post again. 2 980Ms in there...;)

I also don't think its Mac inspired either, unless Mac inspired means cylinder. :p

They were speaking in terms to the Mac Pro and gaming.

When it looks like this on the inside, sure. :D
I wish it looked like that on the outside. I'm not normally one for Apple products, but that's a really beautiful design internally. I mean, I wouldn't want to work on one, but I'd like to look at it.

I think it depends if you're asking an Apple legal team or not. Rectangle with rounded corners!

I believe the concept is fully Mac Pro inspired. The design *sigh* is really intuitive *punches gut* and the internal layout is definitely Mac inspired.

I agree,...

I'm not sure how anyone would think or say otherwise unless they were thinking of the older Mac Pro models. This is definitely Mac Pro late 2013 inspired.
