From the MSN article:

"The router, which will cost between $250,000 and $2 million or more per unit when it goes on sale in July"

So if you had the full multishelf version you'd probably be getting more than $450,000. Although in the Bay Area that'd still only buy you one house.

Another interesting tid-bit from the MSN article, given the usually long cycle from announcement to production usage by clients:

"Sprint, which uses only Cisco routers on its network, spends tens of millions of dollars a year on networking gear. It has been testing the CRS-1 router for two years and expects to have it carrying live traffic within the next several weeks, Valente said."
