Anyone know of a good UNIX based work station for image processing under, say,
$50K?  If you're not familiar with image processing, the dominant computational
bottle neck is passing vast quantities of data (multiple megabytes) through
matrixes (up to 15 x 15).  Since the data sets are large enough in some cases
to have to live on disk, high speed block access to disk and perhaps contiguous
disk files is also handy.

Thanx in advance.

P.S.  Anyone used a Pyramid Technologies RISC based system out there?  War
stories and general impressions would be valued.
