I don't expect the "I'd be willing to assemble one from parts for under
USD $2000" crowd will be large but you don't have to do the assembling
to get all you need well under the $2000 mark. The times that you needed
the fastest computer money could buy and still spent lots of time in the
library reading while your rigid body refinement was chewing on the next
cycle is long gone.
