"It is the company's first attempt at a "personal supercomputer", ... It will be immediately available online for as low as $25,000, and though it has the consumer-friendly Microsoft brand associated with it, it can also run Red Hat Linux Enterprise v5."

If you look at the actual specs, there is nothing special about these blade systems - its the same hardware you can get from Dell or others. Just a regular WinTel platform.

Guess they are charging a premium so that you can say that you own a Cray.
