Some fans inside and say a cell type processor inside which runs massively parallel eating little power, cost $20000, many would pay for it. (oh for those who want to know why, a cell processor can deliver 250 gflops, as opposed to a normal processor like 2.4Ghz A64 which is fastest single cpu processor at the moment delivers 4.8 gflops) Actually i'd love to buy a small cluster with diep at it. But i don't have the money for it. At tournament machines you never make profit actually. It just costs money. Vincent
