a ton of machines, maybe...

I read that with amusement as i look upon my server room floor.
128 1-U Dell compute nodes, each with two dual-core Opterons
and 8 gig of ram (budget-limited, otherwise they'd have 16 gig each).

That's over -two- tons of computer, but only two people listed
as "buyers". And that weight does not count the "supporting"
hardware (a half-ton of disks, a half-ton of UPS, and all of
the racks to put the nodes into).
