You know you want one

Your own shiny corporate super-computer, that is. And now you can afford it, with the new cray CX-1 (running Windows HPC Server 2008, of course, so your current network admin can manage that bad boy) coming out at an affordable $25,000 Estimated Retail Price. You know there are going to be dealer discounts, though... probably pick it up for $10K or so after rebates, I bet.

Won't all the other CIOs drool when you show off your datacenter? Dude, think of how fast Exchange will run on that puppy. No more worrying about the CEO complaining his Outlook is running too slow.

Of course, there is always a chance that those other CIOs are going to be out there browsing Amazon, too, and put it on their Amex Platinum card, so you should probably get yours as soon as they come out later this month, so you have at least a little while to enjoy your bragging rights before they go mainstream.
