I believe a lot of people that have looked into this machine have gotten the wrong idea about it. One of the other reviewers seems to be angry about it only having 6gb of ram, no HDMI port, card reader, and blue-ray drive.
It seems the poster has the wrong idea of what this machine is built for, this machine is built strictly for reliability. This is not meant to be a media powerhouse (though it is of course). It has 2 Xeon processors, these are meant for servers and cost about $1250 apiece - minimum.
It has support for ECC ram, which is incredibly important for any server. With ECC ram the amount of soft errors is going to drop dramatically. This increases the reliability rating significantly.
Further, being expandable up to 32GB of ECC ram, even with the 1333mhz variety running, it can handle anything and everything
If you're looking for a media computer, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a server, you've found one..
What's great about it: ECC Ram support, Server Powerhouse
