Yep, really really expensive FPGA box. We (the company I work for) have a few, and they are stella but a little specialised (i.e. you can't trivially re-purpose them). At the moment we are experimenting with CUDA as a cheaper (ish) replacement - with great success actually. It outperforms our main cluster (i.e. standard CPU processing cluster) by a large margin and is much more versatile than the FPGA solution.
