So are the mac towers officially dead? Seems so…
Just watched the keynote at Apple’s home page, saw nothing at all about mac pro towers. Watched the new imac intro with interest, but frankly, I think i’ll stick with the last gen model I just got earlier this year, the fusion drive option wasn’t compelling to me for video work. Am I missing something?

I’m thinking about how the new imac would work as a stand-alone video work station with this so called fusion drive, and I think it would really need to use an external RAID via thunderbolt or a connection to an external SAN.

So would the new 27-inch iMac top of the line out in Dec 2012, be a better/faster station than my MAC PRO 3.0 early 2008 with 3TB storage, 12GB RAM and an ATI 5870 card?
I’d be editing both CS6 and Final Cut Studio 3 on it.
