- ATLAS: 60 blades @4.9375k => 296.25k (960c) (Based on quote 659024769 for a non-IB full chassis)
- Theory: 97.227k + 5*5.018k => 122.32k (336c)
- PPA: 300.73k (320c)

Notes:
- PPA cost/core is

- not meaningful because it includes the storage expansion and subsidizing the IB infrastructure for the Atlas blades
- for a few dollars more... +10K would get 2 more blades to fill out the remaining 2 empty slots, so PPA --> $310k. It does make sense to have full chassis given the infrastructure is already there.
Benefit here is that we have a uniform cluster.
