I'm certainly *tempted* by the idea of putting one in my rack.  just as
i was strongly *tempted* to offer a home for the V880.  But
realistically, further inflation of my already high monthly power bill
far, far outweighs any possible realistic practical use to which I could
put either.  I *already* have more compute cycles online than I can use.
