True. Frontier is for the US department of energy right? The company that bought the E10K probably was not. AFAIK the E10K requires a 100 amp power line and back in those days (late 90’s) I don’t think performance per watt was a thing they worried about, could be wrong though.

21,000 kilowatts of power. That's a lot, right? I read a story recently about a company that bought a Sun Enterprise 10000 server and an executive shut it down when they got the electricity bill.

You’re probably right.
