i can only give an opinion about the price...since i never tested them.
very expensive for what it is. i don't know why they charge so much. their boxes must be superoptimized or they have a fantastic customer support, or both, i don't know, but it's very expensive
if i remember the start price is about 5500-6000 $ for one node containing two quad cores (8cores)
i built myself a 64 cores (8 bi-quad nodes) renderfarm whith similar material, for 15000 euros (23000$)...make the count...it would have cost 48000$
but a i said, pehaps they are reaaaaly fast... i dunno.
