On the rear, there's another pair of USB 3.0 ports, a pair of eSata ports, and 8 USB ports. You'll find a bluetooth receiver, 7.1 optical and analog surround sound, dual gigabit ethernet, and a PS/2 serial mouse / keyboard combo port. The GPU offers a pair of DVI ports, and a mini-HDMI port. All told, a fine loadout (unless you're especially attached to Firewire).

There are some compromises and concessions here, to hit that $2000 price point. The lack of a Blu-ray player is lamentable, as every other machine on the Performance chart has one, and we've begun to see them shipping on inexpensive Budget desktops, too. There's also the 640GB of storage, but dropping RAID 0 to take advantage of both hard drives would ding the machine's performance scores a bit. But you can always add a 2TB hard drive and a Blu-ray burner, and still have a powerful machine at a very reasonable price.
