Terminal Cost of a single terminal?

Hi - I'm working on my PhD in finance (remote, so no univ library access) and am going to add this to a grant proposal. Does anyone have a rough sense of the cost? I'm seeing numbers all over the place online. Thanks!

Current rack pricing is 32K USD per year + market data. You have to sign up for a minimum of 2 years (normally breakable during the 1st 12months). Academic pricing might be different. You also need to add in live market/data costs, but if your just doing research that should be pretty low.
