Proof of new Mini-tower from Apple?
AppleXnet looks to have a photo of a portion of a
promotional poster from the Macworld Expo show floor that shows a new mini-sized G5 tower, with part of a slogan
"...[t]he family". Probably, "A new edition to the family" or something along those lines.So, new Intel towers in a smaller mini or mid-sized case? Maybe...
Click on the link to see the full-sized photo hosted at AppleXNet.
[Thank you, Michael, for the link].
Update: Heh...false alarm. Readers have quickly pointed out that this is just an external HD case from TransIntl that resembles the G5 tower. Can you tell that rumor mania is running high?

Nope, just harddisks from a 3rd party vendor. The poster was in the 3rd-party section of the Expo, not within the Apple enclosure.
