You can buy quad Itanium2/1.5GHz/4Mb with 2Gb of RAM and fast SCSI hard drive
for less than $19,000.

(Start with default configuration, replace default CPU by 1.5GHz/4Mb, say that
you want 4 of them, and replace 4 hours on-site support with next next business
day one).

So you are off by 3.7x (70,000/19,000).

Thanks,
Eugene
