$2844 for the 22 people

Plus the cost of say, a stacked HP Proliant ML150 server class hardware,
with 3 year same day onsite hardware warranty, you're still going to
spend less than buying 22 even half-way decent workstations

What kind of multi-console machine would you buy for $22,000AU 

(based on a bare-bones workstation =$1000AU x 22 seats) and that's
probably a bit conservative.
