- Sandpiper - desktop system - $18-20,000
- Flamingo - deskside system - $30-35,000

- But take these numbers with a large grain of salt. They might be
- cheaper, or more expensive. It also depends on how good the pricing
- is on the new HP workstations.
-
- I've also heard a small rumor that there is another small desktop
- alpha system codenamed Pelican and costing around $10,000 and is
- expected in around 6 months. Got this info from the latest "Open
- Systems Today".
