The Hydra that beat Adams is probably $10,000,000.00 since it has a giant pile
of custom hardware and software.

If you are considering buying it, then you are quite a wealthy hobbyist, I would
think.

I expect that they may eventually produce PC boards that play at a fraction of
Hydra's current strength.
