"It is the company's first attempt at a "personal supercomputer", ... It will be immediately available online for as low as $25,000, and though it has the consumer-friendly Microsoft brand associated with it, it can also run Red Hat Linux Enterprise v5." http://www.betanews.com/article/Cray_CX1_the_supercomputer_you_can_buy_online/1221597523 http://www.hpcwire.com/topic/systems/Cray_and_Microsoft_Team_Up_on_Cray_CX1_Supercomputer.html http://www.cray.com/products/CX1.aspx
If you look at the actual specs, there is nothing special about these blade systems - its the same hardware you can get from Dell or others. Just a regular WinTel platform. Guess they are charging a premium so that you can say that you own a Cray.
