My gut says this may positioned as either a heavy hitter executive desktop or a home media machine (which doesn't explain the Windows Server for Enterprise), but I still haven't gotten a look at its insides... Perhaps they've jumped on the "Windows Home Server" bandwagon with this one.

Those pictures are pretty cool...think you can get away with breaking open the case to see whats inside?

I can try... if you're happy with VGA cameraphone shots.

Okay, I've got some system specs!

It's running a 3.3 GHz quad-core VPro-enabled (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_vPro) processor, probably a Core 2 Extreme, with a Radeon HD 3470 (This one was interesting - it had two DisplayPort (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort) plugs for the monitor, but it was plugged in through an adapter) and two gigabytes of RAM, though I'm not sure if it's DDR2 or DDR3.

On top of that, I scored some quick FRAPS benchmarks in Crysis.

With 4x antialiasing at 1280x1024 and medium settings, it produced a stable 4 frames per second - I suspect it's graphics-card limited here, and yes, that was four frames per second.
With everything set to low, no antialiasing, and 800x600, I saw a range of between 34 and 43 frames per second.

Still no chance to snap a shot of its guts, though. Wish me luck ;)
