IBM is only selling them for a few more days: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/intellistation/?cm_re=masthead-_-products-_-workstations "The IBM IntelliStation Power 185 and IBM IntelliStation Power 285 have been announced as a hardware withdrawal from marketing with an effective date of January 2, 2009."
