So it is a computer with a rebadged GTX280 in it that they are charging out the nose for because it comes with a few pieces of specialized software to make use of CUDA.
And I'm almost positive that I read somewhere that the 9800GX2 outperformed the GTX280 in applications like this, though I think the 9800GX2 consumed more power. So in terms of performance per watt, the GTX280 was better, and power consumption actually is a concern for many in this market.
