BOXX w/ woodcrest, good predictor of powermac price?
I just noticed that BOXX has a configuration page with what I think is the new woodcrest Xeon 5100 series processors:

If the new powermacs are the same price, then I think that we may be in for a surprise price hike: $3500 for dual 2ghz/400gb/2gb, $4800 if you want 3ghz woodcrest.
Are BOXX systems typically sold for powermac-like prices, or are they more expensive?

I would have gone with Alienware for a pricing comparisons if they were available from them yet. BOXX is typically way overpriced IMO.
So I would have to say that the Apple versions will be less expensive than BOXX.

Did you remember to note that the default GPU in the Boxx configurator is the $1200+ Quadro GPU? So you can effectively subtract about $800 or more from all those prices.
