4 quad-core Opteron CPUs
32GB of memory
8 hard-drives in various levels of RAID.
2 VelociRaptor hard drives in RAID 1
6 1TB hard drives in Raid 5
And it's apparently super quiet!

You could pretty much edit the fuck out of any multimedia project. You could probably download the entire internets with this as well.

its a server pc, not a normal working pc, i doubt it would work for shit as a normal desktop. and by the specs you listed it has no, or little video card to deal with. so no multimedia editing

That is no server PC. A server lives in a rack in a datacenter. This is def someone's pet project, looking for max performance for shear numbers. Pretty cool.
