If you liked the Lego Mac Pro, then check out the time lapse that the maker put together of the 14+ hours it took him to build it:

…Lego my Mac Pro?
It’s hard to deny that Macs and Legos are two of a typical geek’s favorite play things, so when you combine the two, nerdgasms are sure to occur.
Inside of this full-sized Mac Pro replica is a PC running OS X, as well as a Mac Mini, and the outside is 100% Mac as well, compete with a Steve Jobs minifig looking out from atop the Apple logo.
Specs include 2,588 Lego bricks, a 2.4 Ghz Core 2 Duo Hackintosh, and a 1.66 Ghz Core 2 Duo Mac Mini.
Now go change your pants.

…The Mac Mini Pro has been made?
Apple doesn’t make one, so what do you do if you want a mini Mac tower?
Make one yourself.
Seen above are the results of one talented modder’s mission to create a tower out of Mac parts that kept with the general styling of Macputers.
The Mac Mini Pro is built around a Mac Mini, and features an aluminum case that is modeled after the Mac Pro, an additional USB port and power button in the front, and a slide-off side cover that exposes the hard drive for easy swaps.

…Bingo is being played at MacWorld again?
Speaking of MacWorld, John Siracusa from Ars Technica has once again created the Keynote Bingo card to end all Keynote Bingo cards, and it’s the perfect way to get interactive with Jobs’ Fanboy-gasm of an event.
Featuring some gimmies (New Mac Pros, Leopard vs. Vista, Mac Market Share Touted) it also has some dream based risky squares (MacBook Thin, Dockable Mac, New Apple TV) so it’s sure to be fun for everyone.
Just make sure to keep an ear out during the conference for a few “Bingos” if Steve manages to play his cards right.

…Apple announced the new Mac Pro?
Conspicuously pre-MacWorld, Apple today announced the release of the new Mac Pro, nicknamed the Tower of 8-Core Power.
Features include a new standard of 8-Cores of processing power (using Intel’s new 45 nanometer Quad-Core Xeon processors running up to 3.2 GHz), and a new system architecture that delivers up to twice the performance of its predecessor, making this the fastest Mac yet.
Basic Configuration:
- Two 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors with dual-independent 1600 MHz front side buses
- 2GB of 800 MHz DDR2 ECC fully-buffered DIMM memory, expandable up to 32GB
- ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT with 256MB of GDDR3 memory
- 320GB Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard drive running at 7200 rpm
- 16x SuperDrive with double-layer support (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
- Two PCI Express 2.0 slots and two PCI Express slots
- Bluetooth 2.0+EDR
- Apple Keyboard and Mighty Mouse.
However, this announcement is conspicuous because it comes a week before MacWorld, where many had expected Apple to announce the update to their Mac Pro line. Does this mean Apple has a big announcement planned that would dwarf the announcement of an updated Mac Pro?
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
