I got a bit of deja vu reading that article... so i turned to the trusty
google and turned up this:

An almost identical article from 2 months ago...
Seems the Fairfax guys read press releases quicker then News Limited...
;)
Jokes aside, note how the AusIT mentions the $50,000 price tag and how
it outperforms $20m machines... yet in the Age article it says that the
$50,000 is what was spent, but the true value is in the millions thanks
to donations by AMD...
The CSIRO has a more fleshed out story here:
