I dont think its real. but hear are reasons. font on the site was different as well as the color. didnt talk about a optical drive. didn't talk about how many hard drives. Some comments on certain line items: "1GHz processor bus" - I'm not clear if that implies faster 'backside' bus. "8GB of DDR SDRAM" - Big jump from 2! "Fast Serial ATA Drives" - Not necessarily faster than Ultra ATA-133. "PCI-X expansion slots" - Now I can test that 4 channel FW800 card. http://www.storagereview.com/article...60023A_sp.html

Bad News about Indigita FireWire 800 four channel PCI card. Regardless of what it says on their website, it DOES NOT WORK IN A MAC. I received one for testing, but it does NOT fit the Power Mac's PCI slots. When I asked Indigita about it, they informed me that it only works in 64 bit PCI-X slots (66MHz, 100MHz, 133MHz) which you and I know only exists in certain high-end Windows PC's. Bummer.
Also when looking at the real one the fake one doesn't talk about the L3 cache when apple made such a big deal about it. hummm. Also it is just not a thing apple would do.
