Look at all that wasted power, without a proper OS to take advantage of it.

Surely one could build a higher spec pc for half that money ?

Thats ABSURDLY expensive.

EDIT - my citrix servers are more powerful, with twice as many cpus and cost a good deal less than that. GFX performance wouldnt be good though.
