RE: New loser cost IBM i announced

Those are really cool but then again the system will only be about 750 watts
(outside guess at this point based on my 4 way P7) so I'm guessing you
won't need external cooling.

The most expensive part I see is the REAR DOOR HEAT EXCHANGER listed at
7,499. And if you want a FRONT DOOR....2233. Yeah, parts is parts.
Can't go figure with this. Need a good base price with inclusions.

Rob posted a link to the announcement in the other thread, which includes a
link to a pricing document. Conspicuously missing is any mention of CPW.

The pricing is broken down into components. It's not really clear what
components you'll need for a complete system.

What are CSC BILLING UNITS? Do you need 1, or 10 of those? The term CSC
suggests different performance capacities. Is that a throwback to the old
model 170 that had 1 to 10x performance ratings on a single CPU core?
