Looks like Apple listened to some of the feedback...

- dual PSU's
- out of band management (ILO)
- basic VGA on-board

still no hardware RAID if I look at the specs, or did I miss something?

are these planning on being released with Leopard server? Or are they planning on rolling these out using intel 10.4.7 like the Mac Pro?

Well, since they're available in October, and Leopard won't be available until next year.... 10.4.x has to be the OS

I wonder if it's a full $1000 to upgrade to Leopard Server if you buy one. Seems like that would hurt sales in the short run.

Yeah, I bet it will be like $49 to upgrade to Leopard Server. That would really irk me to have to buy expensive upgrade to Leopard Server.
