Greenstreak is 50% discount on hardware, 38% on software (I think).

It's on certain models.  The 270 with 1070 CPW is on there.  A customer 
recently purchased one, lots of disk and comm lines, was 52K
out the door.

We bought a similar machine (1070 CPW) under that partner world promo that was 
discussed recently here for 10K, 0% financing, and we
own it when we're done paying.   It's a used machine direct from IBM, with lots 
of software including Websphere and MQ series.
There's been talk that it's sold out, but check into it.
