I am a very boring person and do not like anything with bell and whistles, but sometimes i wonder how hard can it be to design a rectangle boxed workstation ,....
Well what it looks like to me is MSI is trying to branch out to workstation market with NVidia Quadro and Xeon processors - but coming from a gaming market with interesting but tacky designs left overs.
What is really interesting at least in 3d markets, you can live with gaming machine quite nicely to handle a lot of workstation needs. It fact until recently the workstation market is where you find the multi-core multi-cpu machines this is not a new market of having more cores. I have a ten year old dual-core dual-cpu that has 4 total cores that I purchase for 3d stuff.
As for these machines, it does not state which cpus - but I would assume 6 core machines.
Sheesh, with the number of announcements and reviews on Anandtech covering MSI products in the last few years, it almost seems like the company is slinging anything it can against the wall in the hopes that something sticks.

Mid 2000's design for a mid 2000's price.
