You dunderheads comparing it to a Opteron system are missing the point.... These systems are going where certain application support is needed. Your effing Opteron can't run PPC code, at least, not last I heard.

not to mention.. how much would a damn opteron rig cost built and shipped? how many company send one of its guys to go on newegg and buy a bunch of parts so he can assemble it? tech support?

at $4k, it's a bargain for its purposes. i remember a couple of years back a dual/quad pentiumPro can cost up to $8k or so.
