"Porthole" refers to the (Retro) decorative holes on the front of the new Pro Towers. These decorative holes were copied from the decorative holes on the older Buick cars and were called "Portholes" on the Buick. The Porthole describes these new towers more than any other feature. The shiny drive bays seem a minor characteristic buy comparison. When these Macs first showed up on rumor sites this was the feature that most of us noted. There were several Mac web sites that talked about the relationship of the new Mac Portholes to the old Buick Portholes; Charles Moore on LEM was one of the sites that ran a lot about the Buick Connection. Before these towers were released they were usually referred to by people referencing the Porthole feature. So, a Porthole 867 is a new Pro Tower 867 dp, double optical bay "mirrored doors".
