Speaking of old Apple products, I miss when they were also aiming at the younger generation with the wildly colored and styled G3s that were price competitive with similar offerings from rivals. Granted, I'm bored of seeing Apple shifting to a literal sterile silver/chrome and white future you see in various "Utopian future" settings, and it'd be pretty neat to see Apple go a bit wild again. Moreso now that their products are a lot more scalable than before, so they could surely target the budget conscious with some lower performance but wildly colored designs.
While you can't have that now, the next best thing is to buy a Mac Pro and tile the side panels with used iPhones 5c.

$19000. :/ Apple is going balls out with their design and the fact they still want to be considered premium product. Price for this is crazy to be honest.

luckily for Apple there are a lot of crazy rich people, and they will sell plenty of these

It doesn't even matter. That computer is targeted at people with deep pockets or people working for companies with enough bank to buy these machines in bulk.

Everyone else will do probably just fine with standard iMacs or Mac minis.

I remember those! My high school had quite a few in the library. The blue one. I think that was the most popular color, but what was cool was all the other colors. The purple one and the lime green were my favorite colors. Hell, didn't they even make an orange one? Plus, I distinctly remember the commercial because it used The Rolling Stones song "She's a Rainbow". :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but at least 50% of the top price is just for the brand and nothing else. At a glance, I can make a Windows x86 system for les than half the price, with even higher performance.
But I guess the Apple God deserves his acolytes who mindlessly pay any price they ask.

Hate the Apple is so expensive debates, and obviously it’s not apples or oranges (harr harr), especially now with the architecture change, but a 56-core 2U Xeon Gold w/512GB of RAM costs around $30k from Dell (before 30% off and bulk discounts)

My middle school had an even mix of the original color set except the "Strawberry" (pink in certain lighting, light red in others), of which they only had 3. Misbehaving boys had to use the "Pink Desk", which was considered a major mark of shame since it was "girly"; moreso when the computer lab teacher purposely decorated the case with Barbie stickers and forced the boys to wear a Barbie sticker for being a "bad boy".

As for colors, yeah, they had a wild orange one my sibling was partial to, and later revisions had a weird blue w/ white spots cover and a flower power cover. It began to get boring with the last revision colors, only having dark blue, white, and translucent black.

Lian Li used to make tons of cases in the design esthetic perfected by the G5. I don't think they ever really sold that great due to the price and then around 2016 everyone lost their minds and started building cases out of transparent glass panels and put a shit load of LEDs inside cause that blends fits in perfect with the rest of the stuff I own in my house....

The last ATX case that was actually good looking from Lian Li was V720, I think there was mATX and ITX versions also. It looks pretty classy but I never got to try it so I'm not sure how it performs.

I hated those when they came out but I had long since graduated high school and considered them toys. Looking back, they were great tools for kids to learn basic computer skills because they didn't look like the computers they were used to thinking of as nerdy/geeky.

How so? Anodized AL towers with perforated front panels. The Mac has handles is is more squared off, the Lian Li doesn't have handles, is more rounded, brakes up the perforated pattern in the front panel, and carries the air flow perforations to the top panel. They don't look the same but its similar design language that if you find one "ugly" I can't imagine you'd like either, unless you are saying they are both ugly then idk why you'd even post here. Personally I like the Lian Li more because it does something different.

Looks are subjective, friend. I wanted a Mac Pro imitation case and gawked at all of the Lian-Li offerings, ended up with an FT02, which also doesn’t look as nice or very comparable to a Pro.

Yeah, I get thats all subjective but "ugly as fu" is oddly strong response when they look so similar. I think the G5 Macs look sick, as does the V720 the new Mac Pros less so. If were building a machine though I wouldn't want it to look like or try to imitate something which is why I like the Lian Li, but yeah its ultimately subjective.

Still don't get why anyone would get a Mac Pro over a 3990X build which is considerably cheaper and more versatile.

Yes but, you know, anyone with a brain that doesn't buy Apple just because it's Apple.

There must be some way to tell that these things are a good idea... right??? You're not just stuck to Apple software and ecosystem while paying for overpriced garbage... right???

Not. Get yourself a 3990X build and you won't regret it. $30k for a 28 core CPU... lol.

Lenovo, lmao. I'd rather build my own when the chipocalypse is over.

If you are relying on Apple to get your work done then by all means get whatever overpriced garbage they produce. If not, just wait and get yourself a 100x better deal.

Yeah, Disney and Atlantic are gonna build their own for the cost savings lol (and you’re gonna build a 64-core/512GB workstation for $140 lmao just stop)

Lenovo is the only company that builds threadripper workstations — I’ve always wondered why there hasn’t been more adaptation of AMD in this market. I thought maybe ECC issues, but there seems to be adaptation in the DC and HPC markets, so :confused:

Edit: For good measure, $11k to BYO 3990x + 256GB unregistered ECC cheapo build

Whatever your opinion of Apple is its not garbage and Its not that overpriced for a high-end workstation. Moreover the price of the hardware is pretty much irrelevant for the professional use cases. Also the Apple ecosystem is + for most people that are in it.

I don't think there is enough supply for the OEMs to get onboard. AMD would rather sell Epycs to the datacenter market and the rest goes to AM4 Ryzens.
