Whomever buys this piece of utter junk for performance alone, ought to think about configuring a dedicated PC for his/her ends. Not only because it's a new model, prone to growing pains, especially overheating issues, but because Apple hasn't made up their minds as to whether they will drop or continue to support pros.

You have evidence that the new Mac Pro is "prone to overheating issues"?

Nashton
Sure I do:

Fuck off.

Classy.

However, it's way too early to tell if the new Mac Pro has any overheating issues. Most of us don't know a single person who owns one and the people who will be able to afford it are likely not going to complain in blogs, forums or Usenet when it's a lot easier to go to the Apple Store directly and annoy the 'geniuses.'

Mac users tend to be very demanding and when things go wrong they are quite vocal. I doubt we will hear much of overheating issues (like what we saw with some of the early iMacs with the roughly modern form factor) because of the heat sink used. At least from the reviews I have read it is very impressive - cool and quiet. The form factor is not just about looks.
