Kisnesia has developed 4 supercomputers, which are widely believed to be the fastest and most powerful available in all of NationStates. 1 of these computers is not for sale, as it will be kept by the Kisnesian government.

The remaining 3 are all for sale. Their specs are identical:
------------------
KisOS (Designed specificaly for these 4 computers)
250 KisPRO microprocessors @ 3.75 Ghz apiece
Each processor has 5 MB of Level 3 Cache
1.2 Terabytes (1200 Gigabytes) of 1 Ghz RAM
2 Petabytes (2 Million Gigabytes) of Hard Disk space - 15,000 RPM Drives
100 Graphics Processing Units - KisGraph FX
400 Gigabytes of Video RAM
25 DVD Drives: 12X Read
100 CD Drives: 100X Read, 42x write, 20x re-write
40 Floppy Drives
Built-In cooling system
-------------------
Other specs are available upon request.

These machines are essential for your nation to stay on top of the millitary research market. If you design your own weapons of war, YOU NEED THIS COMPUTER.

Bidding will start at $25 Billion, which is exactly breaking even for us. Delivery will come in 4 RL days, and is included in the price.

You will need to provide a room about half the size of an American football field. We will need 1 RL day to install the computer and set up the cooling system. The cooling system will keep the room below 10 Degrees Celsius, and the computer will shut itself off if the room gets above 25 Degrees Celsius.

This computer is not for sale to nations with a population smaller than 300 Million.

Padmasa will buy 2 at $50 billion a piece. However we would also like the rest of the stats.

We have a bid for 2 at $50 Bil apiece.

What stats do you want to see? Remember, this is a scientific supercomputer, not a video game machine (though you COULD use it as one...wow, would that be fun! :D )

Has 100 standard digital and analog video outputs - basically unlimited, if you need more we can put them in there for you for free.
Ethernet-connectable: 3 10/100/1000/10,000 Base-T ports (yes, we make cables that go that fast, but the other computer will slow you down)
Basically unlimited Input ports - USB 2.0, Firewire, PS/2, SCSI if you need it: name it on your order, and if it is over $25 bil apiece, we'll add it for free.

OOC: He won't sell them to nations with less than 300mil pop, or we'd be bidding.
