> No ability to have more than one hard drive (No RAID possibilities)
The video production houses I've worked in the past had no local storage. Everything was over fiberchannel.
> 64GB limit on RAM (as mentioned)
Well there is theoretical and there is supported. My office Dell only supports 12GB. It currently has 16GB installed. My Macbook only supports 8GB it has 16GB installed. 16GB ECC DIMMs aren't exactly in high demand.
> Single power supply
I haven't found a "workstation" this is doing redundant powersupplies. No, the 2U Supermicro under a desk is not a workstation.
> 3yrs of next day onsite & 24/7 support
$249 for Applecare. It's cheaper than what I'm paying for my servers but more than I'd like for a desktop.
