Looks good, but I agree with most of the opinions that it doesn't really fit into the professional environment (video, audio, etc). It's more of a rich guys cool toy.
It's amazing how many people out there honestly think that Apple is so out of touch that they would completely ignore the needs of their professional users and design something solely to amuse themselves. I am convinced that they are concerned about longevity and making their users happy. I don't know, call me crazy, I just have more faith in people than this. As a creative professional, this box would fit into my work environment. I am heavily invested in software that runs best/exclusively on OSX, so Windows is not an option for me - and I simply prefer the Apple way of doing things.
And keep in mind, a similarly configured Windows machine is also very expensive. Yes, Apple's configuration costs more for the same hardware, but not so much so that it makes Apple's hardware out of reach for a certain application. And with the low cost of Apple's professional software, it ends up being less cumulatively in some scenarios.
