Chris just wondering what are your thoughts on the Penryn Mac Pro, and why hasn’t Apple jump on the Blu-ray band wagon yet? I’m planning on getting the new MacPro 8 Core 3.2ghz 45nm processors, 2 300gb 15,000rpm SAS, 512MBGeforce 8800 GT, 2 SuperDrives, Airport Extreme, i’ve saving up for this computer over a year, sold my PC/ MAC computer equipment, sold my 23inch to get a 30inch cinema display but waiting for the new ones to come out, heard that Dell has a new 30inch out. so can you do a video on the new Mac Pro and what your opinion on it, and are you still planning on getting a Mac Pro for yourself?

First, I think the new Mac Pro looks awesome – and I’ll be ordering mine after we get back from Hawaii. Second, if you really want Blu-ray, just buy an external drive for any computer you own. Third, I’m not sure I want to go SAS or SATA, since you can only do one or the other with this machine (and SAS must be configured with the RAID card). Not sure why you’d go with NVIDIA when a single (default) ATI should suffice on OS X. I’d buy whichever 30″ is most affordable, since most of ‘em are just about the same…
