Only a little OCD, eh?
But, yeah I understand, I only buy same colored components in my entertainment center which are all black currently.
Wouldn't even consider an aluminum colored device.
I'd have to replace all of them or finally build that in wall cabinet to enclose them all I've been considering.
hehe.. Honeslty I have OCD really really bad.. I would make Monk a nervous wreck..
What's the true seriousness of purchasing a new Mac Pro (or are "we" just dreaming)?
Going from a Mac-Mini to the new Mac Pro is quite a jump.

True seriousness. In all honesty I have the money, thats not even an issue. What would make me want to spend the money is down to what would I get back in return for making that investment. I just sold my gaming PC I had more then 2k in. I just didn't need it anymore.
Currently my MM does everything I need and does it very well. Lightroom doesn't even use video card processing yet unlike Photoshop. Since most my photography workload is done in Lightroom a good multithreading CPU like the i7 is all I need. Since I installed my Samsung 830 series SSD into my MM, I can go from pushing the power button to desktop in less then 10secs. Photoshop takes 2secs from Icon to using it. Also with huge panorama photos taking in RAW, it doesn't even work a sweat.
So a Mac Pro would have to offer me something my MM doesn't. Currently, it would be a waste of money. Now take into consideration I got my MM before the iMac refresh. The iMacs at the time had only Ivy Core i5s in them, despite the increased clock speed. Under heavy loads the MM with the i7 would still be a tad faster.. So I went with the MM.
I am however very very interested in the new MM refresh due in about 6 or 7 months.. Hoping something faster then whats in the current iMacs, also the Iris Pro iGPU still needs a improvement boost. Though its looking promising. But next refresh I may get a new MM and hand this one down to my daughter who will be turing 9 about that time. Be a great computer for her. Plus MMs are just darn affordable.
Now more speculation. Could the new Mac Pro color scheme be the direction Apple could be going in? They been aluminum for a few years now, before polycarbonate and mostly white. This isn't hard to do, just little anodizing and apple can make them any color they wish. They already have black keys on the Mac laptops. And they glow so nice. I don't see this happening to the laptop line. But could be one of their refinement trends. Who nows, I doubt it though. But hey its speculation and a lot of imagination..
Now I really hope they do make a darker keyboard. I have the magic mouse. But I have a love / hate relationship with it. Love the functionality, hate the total lack of ergonomics. Its just dang uncomfortable to use for long periods of time. Now I love the keyboard. I got the small bluetooth one. But would be overly happy if I had it in black tone scheme. It would at least match my logitech mouse and monitors then. That and white keys tend to get dirty overtime. Though I am suprised at how clean these manage to stay. But I just can't see Apple selling that beautiful Mac Pro with a white keyboard and mouse.. Just doesn't make sense..
But who knows.. :-/
