I haven't worked with mainframes since the z10, but back then you could get into an entry model for about $100k.

Though the sky is the limit. The typical machine I would order had a list price of about 1 million. Of course no one pays list. Discounts can be pretty substantial depending on how much business you do with IBM or how bad they want to get your business.
