Modular MacPro design Concept
New design for a MacPro.
It is radical departure from current workstations.
It could be a MacPro for the next 10 years.

Like a Lego Blocks. Computer built from different interlocking sections, highly customizable.
Sections seamlessly connect, and share power & data (Thunderbolt).
Different sections: CPU, Optical, Power Supply, PCI, HDD etc.
One user needs are very different from others, so should be a MacPro.


Pro:
Server class dual CPUs (Xenon E5), 8 DIMM ECC memory slots.
Consumer:
Consumer CPU i3, i5, i7, 4 DIMM slots.

Various configurations:
