Highlights (rumored):
* Darn nice looking case X-)
* Two, four and eight dual-core CPU options.
* 1U through 4U models.
* Lots of PCI-X as standard.
* Pushing into a software-focused business model, i.e. selling more than 
just the box.
* They mark the return of Andy Bechtolsheim, an original co-founder of 
Sun who left in 1995; in 2004 Sun bought the company Kealia that he had 
started so have him back again.

The full details are expected on the 12th.
