That's the first thing that went through my mind too. I suspect this was intentional on Apple's part (the masters of marketing) to make it look like a little baby Cray. Obviously anyone that's seen the Cray will think that.
Although I'm more interested in function (nice specs) over form...when I got to the last slide, the thing was slightly larger than what I was expecting. I was guessing it was going to be about 8" high so I was close. Some of the specs are kinda funny - like you can have 36 video outputs for example. Hey that's cool and all ..but..uhhh.. I dont even have 36 walls in my entire place! haha its not that big..haha
