Waves alternative to dedicated DSP

A few years back Waves came out with their APA processors that were hardware devices built to run Waves plug-ins, taking the load off the host CPU, much in the same way Pro Tools TDM Hardware, Universal Audio UAD cards, and TC Powercore processors do. Now Waves has come up with a new solution, using "off the shelf PC's" (in other words, inexpensive) to run Waves plug-ins in a ultra-low latency, ethernet based solution. This looks hot, and is something to keep an eye on, as we believe it will become a very attractive alternative to other DSP solutions.
