I'm wondering about the merits though. Does the Mac pro really pack so much more power per m^3 so as to justify not to use regular pizza boxes? I guess there must be a certain market of clients asking for powerful 24/7 mac's...thinking buildhosts or something like that.

Doubtful, you can only only fit 3 across in 5U of rackspace - I don’t think even the most heavily spec’ed Mac Pro(s) would compete on a “CPU per m^3” basis - you could put a PowerEdge R910 in with 4 Xeon E7-4870s and 2TB of RAM. Like you said, specialized build machines are really the only feasible hosting option I can think of.
