The HP Zxxx series of workstations already had this type of segregated airflow and hot swap components 3 years ago. I must admit this too looks really clean, and easy to maintain but it isn't exactly ground breaking design.
I wonder what the temperature delta will be for the second CPU as compared to the first in this series configuration of cpu1 and then cpu2.

Super Nice Machine!!!Samus - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - link
Ditto. Even the 4 year old S30's are awesome, Quad core Xeon's can be had for $300 used. Great used machines for small businesses.mavere - Tuesday, August 12, 2014 - link
Who knew corporate could look so good?Also, that P900 side shot is essentially what the Mac Pro upgrade should have been.

I think that now leaves only HP with a chassis that's not as heavily airflow-managed...otherwise - Tuesday, August 12, 2014 - link
How is this different than the air ducts in the Z6xx and Z8xx workstations?otherwise - Tuesday, August 12, 2014 - link

Damn, that's a nice looking design.ToTTenTranz - Tuesday, August 12, 2014 - link
Yes, but will it play Crysis?CaedenV - Tuesday, August 12, 2014 - link
Unfortunately no. Turns out Crysis is such a small and old game that it is not worthy of being played on by such an amazing device.fokka - Tuesday, August 12, 2014 - link

The J series HP9000 workstation line had it 13 or 14 years ago. Of course those were $30,000 machines at the time, so this is progress.jdrch - Tuesday, August 12, 2014 - link
These things are gorgeous. With Dell also upping the ante on its pro workstation industrial design, I guess HP's the laggard.checkthis - Tuesday, September 9, 2014 - link
