So could IBM, (actually $11K, but close enough).
By a combination of changing jumpers and software
governors, IBM produces several models of the 270
as per the following table. Most of the price differential
is CFINT tax:

270 22A2    12,100    1    150    25
270 22A4    13,300    1    370    0

270 22A7    25,300    1    950    0
270 22A8    81,600    1    950    50
