We've got $150,000 to spend on a computer graphics visualization
system.  We want to look at results from CFD and finite element
analyses.  Currently, we have an Apollo network with about
25 nodes.

What would you buy and how would you configure it? SGI, IBM,
SUN, STARDENT?  What about networking to Apollo? What about
benchmark speeds for real applications?

Thanks in advance, e-mail please
