In addition I really think it's a crappy design for many because if you're in pro-audio the video provided is utter over-kill. Add to that the lack of pci-e slots and you'll have to spend more on that chassis. And add to that the tendency to have machine rooms for... well... machines... This guy doesn't rackmount nicely... or at all...
If you want a rackmount, build a rackmount. Don't complain a desktop doesn't make a good rackmount. Its not like this is the only choice out there for every single application possible.

I'm not an editor or a mac user at all, but in searching to see what hardware is beneficial for audio editing was mostly ram size and cpu. However, it seems they can have parts offloaded to the gpu, with mentions/articles about Logic X having/getting it. So just b/c it wasn't able to use it before the new mac pro doesn't mean they won't see a benefit to having gpu hardware available now.
