I'd love to take one of those, but I a) don't have $285 and b) while the 
currant draw of my mess of computers isn't complained about now, if I got a 
Crimson it certainly would be.  From what I hear, I just wouldn't be able to
afford to keep one running.  If it were an Onyx, well I couldn't really afford
that either, but I'd be willing to put up with turning it off when not in use
for that sort of power.
