200,000 euro investment? Is he serious? 200k euro investment in 5 year old spec power pc hardware?
If I had 200k to invest in a hardware project for resale, I'd be researching quad core quad socket, quad cpu motherboards with 16 or more processing cores and research putting additional processors on pci cards, 4-8 per expansion slot. I'd want a computer with 7 slots for plenty of expansion, and probably an old school REAL full tower case.
Thats where power mac, linux and windows user will be going in 5+ years, ridiculous multiprocessing. If someone came along and beat them all there by 5+ years... well...
I guess I'll have to wait for my computer with 16 primary processing cores and 30 secondary processors... sigh.

Yes, because surely, with 200,000 euro,
you'd be able to design a computer that'd blow away anything multi-billion dollar companies could possibly come up with. :rolleyes:
