hope that's the case... it's just that Apple's Power Mac offerings have historically been less than workstation level. the G5 was the first high end workstation type PM in the last 7 years. it was only a short while ago that PMs had a 1.5 GB RAM maximum! this at the time a basic home use Dell offering had 4 GB max MBs. that's why the G5 wasn't just a new power Mac, it was a quantum leap from the previous G4 systems.
And its still shocking that they havent made a new case that can fit 3+ HD's..

Those days will be coming to and end soon. I expect that in a few years most computers will be shipping with 2.5" drives. Thus the same space that two 3.5" drives occupy will now be housing four or five 2.5" drives running on SAS/SATA 600Gbps drives.
