Usual price for the CM2-400-K-10 (CPU + cables) is $695 (to 70C). For extended temperature (to 85C), add $1000 set-up fee plus $55 per board (no charge for extended temperature if order is over $5000). They gave us the CM2-400-K-10 for $400 each, with no charge for the extended temperature version (ETT-4085-01). I said we would be ordering 4 CPU+cable kits (as of 11/11/03, we have ordered 2). When I ordered the 2, I asked for them to expedite the order (have it done in 1 week) rather than 2. They complied with this for no charge. |
