Your comment seems to indicate you think a shortage was to be expected as a consequence of the sale. If it was expected, and since NVIDIA was in charge of the promotion, they could/should have compensated. A surprise demand that causes a shortage for a good product is a high class problem; a self-inflicted spike in demand that causes a shortage for a good product is poor operational planning.

As Andrew pointed out, they ran a promotion back in April where you could get a C1060 for half price. http://www.vizworld.com/2009/04/nvidia-promotion-50-off-msrp-on-tesla-c1060/ This is no surprise.
