I clicked quad itanium2 1.6ghz and was directly at $50k when i hit update. That's with just a 36GB harddisk by the way. $50k is not bad for a system which is equally fast to a quad opteron 1.6Ghz for Diep. That said, it's a lot faster for diep than most other software. Actually a quad opteron 2.2Ghz fully configured at ebay is < $10k.
