FYI you can already get engineering units on eBay for that price. I have a few...

  Don't they have different characteristics compared to the final retail units?

    It's not like they're intentionally broken, just have whatever bugs come with being the first revision. These are the units they send out to journalists and big companies to do benchmarks, test software for, plan large scale rollouts, etc. Having them work the same as the retail units is pretty essential for that purpose. That said, one of my units has a clock speed that doesn't match any of the retail models (I guess they didn't end up selling that model?), and another doesn't seem to work with threading (or whatever AMD calls it) enabled. But that's a small price to pay for the money saved.
