Most people who buy Blade 2Ks *arent* going to pay full list price off
the Sun web store.

I've got a Blade 1000, with the first-rev 900Mhz CPU.  It SCREAMS, but
I wouldnt pay $10K for it.

Only difference between the B1K and B2K is the front panel and motherboard
support for the Cu-based CPUs (US-III+, versus US-III).
