You can install a 150 properly loaded from around $12,000 to $15,000.
Now it is questionable whether this is a proper machine for the business
world.  But, depending, on the environment it may be a legitimate
candidate.  Come February when the "Invader" series is announced you
will see some very price competive models with real nice performance
numbers.  The model 150 is in the 27-33 CPW and the new 160 is
expected to be in the 75-115 range and the 170 is expected to be in the
115-300 range.  I'm not sure but I think the 150 has been tested by
Client Server labs and has some decent results (go to www.cslinc.com).

IBM has an internal document comparing an S10 (2119) to a Compaq
Proliant 800.  I've read through the document and it seems relatively
fair (you have to consider the source and read through the assumptions
and the requirements).  The S10 priced out at a couple of thousand
dollars less than the 800.......The S10 has been tested by Client Server
Labs and has some pretty good results compared to Intel/NT platforms
