Looks like this can take on the HP BLACKBIRD. Its on the prowl. No street pricing announced yet, it does look like a transformer. Expected launch Q3 / Q4 2008. The only thing I am intrigued by is the hot swappable SATA drives, this could be the ultimate 3d Rig workstation, but of course you will need have the software to harness its power.
