Gee, wonder why I don't remember it...They tried it over 20 years ago, the Apple Bandai Pippin.

If you are an Apple Final Cut pro user, absolutely.
If they put a Pascal card as a BTO (factory installed) option!, it would see much greater uptake, for CUDA enabled apps.
Well from 0.01% workstation market to 0.1%
Which is why its nice to have x299 chipset support ;-)
What Apple IS doing however, and this is my takeaway from the WWDC, is bidding for the gaming industry - building machines that are capable of creating the assets, etc., for the games - supporting the content creators.
It wouldn't be Apple if they didn't push the envelope of design...Do you really think it is a good idea to build a very fast computer behind a monitor??? Because I think it is a very bad idea. I don't know what king of great cooling method they invented it will not be enough I am just sure. My 2009 first generation iMac is really overheating as many others...
Yeah pushing the envelope but I think not to the right direction. This iMac design is basically unserviceable why don't they just build a very nice tower... i7 processor would be enough... very few people need more cores than that...It wouldn't be Apple if they didn't push the envelope of design...
Apple doesn't like to be "like" everyone else. Isn't one of their mottos to "think different"?Yeah pushing the envelope but I think not to the right direction.

I disagree that the all-in-one is a bad design choice. It is a nice way to save space and cut down on a few cables. The cooling characteristics aren't that bad either. So, it is a good choice for people with limited space. The fact it isn't user-serviceable may only be a factor to a very small percentage of people, and if they purchase more than they need at first, the machine shouldn't need adjustment for quite a few years anyway - thus the value is retrieved via longevity.
And, as someone pointed out earlier, many of these will be sold to companies who are able to buy-and-toss as needed, w/o needing to service the machines.
IMO, the iMac Pro is a quick, stop gap unit to hold the prosumers until it can release a top of the line Mac Pro in 2018. I believe the iMac Pro will not continue (upgraded/updated) after the new Mac Pro appears on the market.
Well, it's definitely not for you since you're running a H77 based system. However, we have some professional users of Macs/Hackintoshes on this forum, such as BoomR and pastrychef. So, since I'm no longer in the "business", I'll let them pontificate as they have more credibility.Yeah sure... for 5 grand a pretty expensive stop gap
What will the new Mac Pro have after this???
