Here is a story about how a fancy desktop computer can be used in a real world application to replace a more advanced special purpose computer.
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/PC-supercomputer,5513.html It is related to CT scans of the body. It is apparently more common now for a doctor to diagnosis a patient after having a CT scan than it was a few years ago. Hopefully in 10 years, these scans will be much less expensive, and it will be more cost efficient to do scans sooner, than later when a problem is suspected. I was inserted into a CT scanner 2 weeks ago. I had 2 scans in the abdominal area - 1 without the iodine injection, and 1 with. And 2 similar scans in the pelvis area. I would have like to have had the lungs and the head scanned, since I was already in the machine with all the barium fluid and iodine injections, but that would have been at least another 2 thousand probably.
