Nice, there goes the G5 line. Right out the window. Im surprised they are not using the new Conroe lineup. As for the X1600 and X1800, d**n!!! Maybe you might want to keep those cards around and maybe make them into something useful. lol Looking at the case, makes you wonder how they are going to seat the harddrives into that? Since by the looks of it, they are going with a micro atx power unit. |

Aren't these Xeons based on the Core 2 Duo architecture though? Or are they based on existing Core Duo chips? I'm really confused.
I think it sucks that there are still only two internal drive bays. If they could squeeze in a second optical drive bay, why not an extra internal drive bay?
And man, they really need to lay off being skimpy on the RAM. I also agree with some of the AI posters that Bluetooth and Airport should be standard.
