The Mac Pro is pretty enough as it is, but now AlumaMax can transmogrify that aluminum case into a horse of a different color. Who says MacBooks, iPods and iPhones are the only ones worthy of custom colors? Check out the rainbow of six anodized hues with which you can perform this alchemy on your existing Mac Pro or PowerMac G5. If you're looking for a brand-new Mac, the company offers a complete line of Mac Pros all colored up to your specs, and even better news is you can get a tinted keyboard and Cinema Display to match. You'll be coughing up some serious coin for the privilege, though—it's $50 for a keyboard colorization, $349 to color up your Mac Pro or G5, and up to $4600 for a tricked out 8-core Mac Pro.

Mac pro or G5?
Cool - so when are they going to offer colors for the new Lambo Reventón?
While the colors might be fun, you ultimately have to not be using your machine for a while if you want it tinted. That is the real flaw in all of this.
I like this, but I like colorware's products a lot better. Plus Colorware offers a warranty on the computers, not sure if AlumaMax does or not, searched the site and didn't find anything about one.
Cool, Now I'll take mine in silver please.
I am farrrrr from a Mac fanboy, but those pictures show why apple is the best at style. Don't you think they could have made those train wreck colors? They just know better.
The black one is NeXT-acular! Too bad it's aluminum and not magnesium. :)
Colorware paints them. These guys (re-)anodize them. The two processes are a lot different, but the end result is going to be a matter of personal preference. Personally, I think I would prefer the anodized/dyed over Colorware's paint for these particular items, but maybe that's just me.
Honestly $349 to anodize a Mac pro is a real bargain considering the amount of work involved.
There are some neat effects they could offer in addition to the solid colors though. You can easily mask or fade aluminum dyes.
@RHEW,
On the Products page, they say that there is a 1 year warrenty on the painted Pros
plus i would def buy the black one... i jusyt wish i had the $
