Not bad,...

Not good either.

No PCI-Express slots which means no GeForce6 or Radeon X800
No PCI-Express slots which means still only one decent graphics card per machine.
Most top-end video cards come with 256MB's RAM or more these days.
Still only one optical drive.

Shipping In July? Right.... just like the XServes were shipping in March.
