Suggested retail price, 1 Million dollars

But if you order now they'll throw in a free monitor and keyboard.

I wonder if we could put PBW on one of those.

Yes we could, but then it would fail and you would have to spend another billion dollars to get tech support to help you get it back on line only to find out that it is not compatible with windows/linux/uniux/other operating systems. And that in order to get it to work you will have to call HP and MS technical support. HP, having no idea why you are calling them will undoutably give you a customer number and promise to get back to you but never will. While you will play phone tag on the MS system until you finally get some help and to have them recommend that you re-install Windows OS with a promise that that will fix all your problems.

In the end game, IBM will send you a new system, but you will have to pay for shipping.
