The case reminds me of old SGI hardware; I'm glad to see that it's not just another box full of cards.

Huh? The case looks exactly the same as the old case. Are you seeing a different version of the article than I am? The photo I see is this: http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/img_9182...

Are the Xeons in question Haswells (that is, E3 v3)?

No, they are Ivy Bridge-E. Haswell-E doesn't ship until 2014.

"Can't innovate anymore, my ass". Uh... what exactly is being "innovated" here?

Innovation means to change and advance -- the word doesn't really set that high of a bar:

- Its a different design

- Its new hardware

- It advances over the current generation
