"It has cost GBP5.6m less than the GBP65m estimate to build" and "in computing terms that is the same as 12,000 standard desktop computers"<p>59.4 M / 12000 = GBP4,950 each. A good desktop computer is less than GBP1,000. It doesn't sound like a great buy.

interesting its number 17 in the top 500 list. I would wager that the government here in the uk has a couple bigger ones that they can't talk about. I bet the US has a few too.
