Why would you buy a performance oriented complete desktop computer anyway? I prefer to assemble those myself.

The most important thing is that it supports ATI HD 4870, that will make many Hackintosh owners happy.

Looks good DR Who. What will be the speed of these Xeons, also will there be any overclockability on these setups, if so will the processor be locked or unlocked.

3.2Ghz and down. One listed here is a 2.93Ghz tho in the benches. All locked ofcourse. Its workstation/server chips.

Apple only sells 2.26, 2.66 and 2.93Ghz atm.

This will be nice for the DCC and graphics folks, though PC has pretty much closed the gap many pro content/printing shops still prefer Apple. Won't be catching me on Apple anytime soon.

What bothers me is that Apple is selling and I can't buy a damned board.
I will give apple a smooch for looks though.
Very nice looking cases.

I heard that "The Beast" was already taken by this one. Maybe we have to call it The Beast 2 or iBeast. :rofl::ROTF::rofl:

I've been into the dualies for the last six years and to be honest, there is nothing that even comes close to the quality of a Supermicro board.
In my spare room I have a 1997 SM S2DGU dual P3 xeon that still runs as good as the day it was made.
I also have a SM cube with a quad P3 xeon on the S2QR6 from back in 2000-2001..
Identical to this:

They just build things the way they should..Quality and it shows every day you use them.

300$ for 1TB HDD? No thanks, I thought Crapple was expensive before, this is worse than ridicolous!
When will these Xeon Nehalems be available, anyway? (I mean elsewhere than Apple)

Uh huh. I'd sure like to see you do this.

The interior of this thing is insane. Previous gen MP's were nice, but the slide in memory/CPU tray is slick.

2.26GHz Gainestown's for a base config is weak though.

Never buy HDD/Memory upgrades from Apple. I thought everyone knew this. :p:

I think that is a typo, at least I hope it is..

Don't believe so.

Base is 2.26GHz, middleground is 2.66GHz. The 2.66GHz 2 x quads is a $1200 upgrade. I don't know what Intel's pricing is for Gainestown, but it seems way too high and way underclocked.
