More Evidence of Upcoming Xserve Refresh?
AppleInsider follows up on yesterday's report regarding an update to Apple's Xserve offering with additional evidence for the new model. According to the report, a user has discovered text strings in the latest Mac OS X 10.5.7 beta identifying an unreleased "Xserve3,1" model, as well as references to Marvell's Yukon 2 Ethernet controller chips suitable only for Apple's Xserve line but not found in the current model.
In particular, AppleInsider reader Adam has discovered references to an "Xserve 3,1" inside the AppleTyMCEDriver extension file currently seeding to Mac OS X developers as part of Mac OS X 10.5.7.
The current incarnation of the Xserve, introduced in January of 2008, has long identified itself as "Xserve 2,", meaning "Xserve 3,1" stands as an machine ID indentifier [sic] for an unreleased family of Xserves -- almost certainly the upcoming Nehalem models.

Could the jump to 3 mean some visual changes and a major refresh. Not that is needs it, the X Serves look awesome.

Xserve will become a 10U rack-mount server and will contain 20 quad-core Xeon processors and 50 hard drive bays. Nice.

Assuming Apple would hike the price of this too, I went over to Dell.co.uk and checked out a similar server for my cash...
for your £1903 you get:
1 x 1.86Ghz E5502 Xeon CPU
1Gb RAM
1 x 73GB SAS HD
No rack mount kit
no optical drive
NO OPERATING SYSTEM!
Start speccing up a bit, and you start to pay silly money
