Pros:

Quad SLI without the noise, and a pretty amazing price.
Full-sized desktop, but built for travel. Multi-core processor and high end graphics.
Strong productivity, gaming performance; Blu-ray reader

Cons:

Does not resemble a small form factor as we know it.
Overclocked rival is much faster for only $100 more. Micro-ATX motherboard reduces expandability. Not SLI capable.
