international nut of pastry - I think this lines mostly filler.

Yesterday the new MacPro towers were announced.

I want one.

And...

I'm getting one.

In a month-or-two I'll be placing my order for a dual 2.66GHz dual core Xeon, 1GB of RAM, 160GB SATA 3GB/s HD and a ATI Radeon x1900 XT 512MB 256bit.

Only a 160GB HD for now, as larger HDs are cheaper to be purchased from other places ($115 for a 250GB WD SATA, for instance). Same with the RAM. 1GB will do for a little while until I pay off the tower. Which thankfully won't be too long thanks to some savings, and a tax return.

The MacPro will be a big upgrade from my dual 867MHz G4. I'll finally be able to run Aperture, and get away from the basic program that is iPhoto.
