These look very similar to Dell's Optiplex Micro systems.

I am going to guess the market is financial traders and people who need lots of screens but without totally massive GPU performance.
They look nice though

Can that GPU be replaced with a quad port NIC? That box would make an excellent router I think.

If you could add 10Gbe to that it would be a pretty cool Mobile ESX Cluster.

I am not sure about that. The GPU is a normal PCIe card that plugs into a riser so yes I think it could fit. Only problem is you would have no cooling, unless the one built into the heat sink system would match up. You might be looking at having to cut the heat pipes to get your NIC to fit.

I think you are correct about that, it does have 6 video outputs. Some of the stock pictures they have show just that.

That's a nice system also but Lenovo's box has a Quadro inside and more video outputs.

Oh right I completely ignored the fact that the gpu and cpu have shared cooling.

AUD$800 for the base model with the i3.... Not terrible... not great either!
