Are there any reviews of these chips from the perspective of a prosumer/enthusiast? How do they compare with current x86 stuff in general workstation use, i.e. CAD, etc?

Is there any way to purchase systems which use current POWER6 chips other than buying a $50,000 IBM enterprise-grade thing-a-ma-bob?
