Well I don't have the money now so I am sitting and waiting anyway. :D

I will keep watching and observing. Last I read, the latest Mac Pro is noisier than the iMac Pro which you have to fully load all its CPU cores and both videocards to even hear. To me the [lack of] noise is extremely important in a machine. (That's why I spent $400 on a PC box, CPU cooler and the most silent fans I could find, last year.)

That, plus the fact that it's an all-in-one machine. One gets sick of reshuffling their desk periodically, I gotta tell you.

They are building new Mac Pro from the scratch, don't look at latest one, it's considered a failure (overheating GPUs, etc). But well, if you just want monoblock, then iMac Pro is no brainer, of course. I have opposite view and prefer modular components, especially for long-lasting hardware.

If we're talking PCs then I fully agree. Modular beats monoblock all-around.

Apple has a terrible track record on repairs in warranty however (it's basically a 50/50, lot of luck involved). Whatever I end up buying I'll just pray it doesn't break. So modular or not, doesn't make much of a difference. If anything breaks you're likely screwed. That's why I'm most likely buying an iMac Pro.

But since that ain't happening yet, I'll be curiously following what other machines will they come up with in the meantime.
