After doing some initial testing for the AMD64 and seeing some really amazing benchmarks I have began looking for one myself for my home office. There are rumors that Costco had one for $1200 but I have been unable to find that. This morning I found that even the mainstream retailer Sears is now selling them for around $1700 loaded. I will continue to look around and see if the Xmas season brings some lower pricing or hope that Santa brings me one.
Cheers,
