We had one of these at work, we paid $100,000 for it in when we got it (E2900).

If I had a way to wire the 220v into this, I would so face the wife-wrath for buying it.
Plus I would need earplugs.

Wow $300 to ship it freight.

To give you an idea of how dated this technology is, it uses PC100 RAM.

V1280 came out March 2003.

E2900 which replaced the V1280 came out in 2006.

The E2900 is a rebadged V1280. The E2900 still uses PC100 RAM.

Of course our E2900 has US IVs and not the US III Cus, but the US III Cus in that box will still run like six US IV chips.
