Well, yes. Good point. But buying an E10K which costs thousands to power
over an Opteron setup which would be faster dosen't make a whole lot of
sense. When I bought my original series Onyx RE2, I sure didn't expect to
actually use it for anything other than as a toy.

On a side note related to power, I'm used to under $50/mo power bills around
here. However, after rescuing a HP Color Laserjet 4550, I received a bill
for $80 for the last month. $30/mo for a printer? I can't imagine what
something like an E10K would end up costing.
