G5 Xserve was recently released ... http://www.apple.com/xserve/1U, 19in rack mount unit, with multi-platform compatibility (mac / win / unix) with a lot of power. Bascially, a very attractive proposition, especially for hi-rez recording and DVD post. From reports the unit is selling very well. (Sure, its price and features are aimed at medium to large enterprise.) http://www.macworld.com/news/2005/01/04/xs...serve/index.phpFor the realists: if you had one of these in yor studio, how would you - given your particular config. and work processes - make use of it? I'm very curious about how people would take advatange of its features. http://www.apple.com/xserve/specs.htmlFor the dreamers: ...do you visualize something that is a like half-step between the Mac Mini and Xserve, an upgradable 1U media server / external processor hub that keeps older model G4s in action (i.e. rather than buying a whole new computer to get the power) and is mobile and robust enough for "out of house" production projects...? What are your thoughts?

To be more precise, "my" node is based on available things from Apple, just a little bit of development to bring the software behind to the other editors (and expand the potential market). This said, it's aimed to non real time operations, so with latency workarounds you can do some jobs in "real time", but the main use would be in audio some treatments, in DTP image manipulation, and 3D. I'm sure it can be pushed in the direction of things like Mathematica  It would be the "low budget" solution on existing technologies already in the hands of Apple.
