Apple Store Reopens With Many New Products 519
An anonymous reader writes "After being down for a couple of hours, the Apple store reopened this morning. All of the speculation has turned out to be a reality with Apple dishing out many new products and among them are; iMac 20", three iMac 24" models, two Mac Mini models, and two Mac Pro models — with one including an ATI Radeon HD 4570 graphics card. Also as rumored, there was the new Airport Extreme, and Time Capsule in 1TB. The Mac Pro is the granddaddy of them all. The lower-end Quad Core system includes a 2.66Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor, 3GB of memory, 640GB hard drive, 18x double-layer Superdrive, and a NVIDIA Geforce GT 120 with 512MB of memory priced at $2,499. Finally, we have the 8-core system which includes two 2.26Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors, 6GB of memory, 640GB hard drive, the 18x double-layer Superdrive, and of course the NVIDIA Geforce GT 120 with 512MB of memory priced at $3,299."

Well then, it's your lucky day. Those graphics cards are a generation old and mid-range at best.

Heck, this could probably handle my Time Machine backups for the other macs in the house while serving 1080p.
I don't think you'd want to use a computer with only a 120 or 360 GB HD for serving video & Time Machine backups...
Someone should really create a port that would allow expansion via external storage devices. That would be the bee's knees.

Well ... just buy two dual core mac-minis for $599 each, stack them on top of each other and, viola! there you have you're quad-core machine.

After some customization, I can get a mac pro for $3,500 that is almost comparable (not quite) to the pc I just put together for $1,400.
If people want to throw a dollar sign in the word "Micro$oft", then we need to through a couple in with Apple: "A$$le"

The fact that you neanderthals are still using crappy plastic buttons rather than gestures and other multitouch goodies isn't my fault.
Couldn't agree more. Gestures are where it's at. For example, if I want to launch Safari, I simply gesture like I'm lovingly fingering another man's anus and up it pops. One hundred percent reliable. My Mac understands.

I prefer Appl€. With the exchange rate, it's pretty much the same thing.
(It's "€".)
