The machine is made by Intel, the SC450NX. It sells for about $4,200 with no memory, cpus or disks. Cpus are about $1,000 each (xeon 400 with 512kb L2 cache). Memory is about 300 bucks for a 128mb DIMM (72 bit 60ns EDO) or $1,200 for the 512 in my machine. The disks are about 700 bucks each (I have 3 10K IBM drives at 9 gigs each) plus two older 7200 4.3 gig seagate drives for the normal system stuff. Total cost was 4200 + 4*1000 + 1200 + 3*700 or about $11,500 total. It is a mighty machine for sure...
