   I almost bought a T90 two years ago, and three years ago I came very 
close to owning a C90.  Trouble is, all C90s are liquid cooled and 
unbelievably heavy, and T90s are only air cooled in one or two 
processor configurations.

   T90s are *stupid* fast.  Twice as fast per processor than the 
already-too-fast-to-be-comfortable C90.
