No, not quite.  A 4U, 4-way *capable* G5 IBM server with Linux for only 
$3500.  $3500 was for the base model, not anything loaded or even 
well-optioned.

I've recently had experience with the IBM x345 dual Xeon servers and if 
these new 970 based servers are anything like the x345's then these 
should be fine boxes.
