Jon-
Here is a recent system that I procured the components
for, for a friend.
The ultimate goal was to produce a muscle system that
could handle some Serious number crunching and all the
charts you could throw at TS..
DUAL 2.0GHZ XEON INTEL P4
SUPERMICRO M/B (DUAL)
FUJITSU 36GB 15K RPM
2GB ECC DDR 2600
ANTEC CASE SERVER
(2)- G200MMS QUAD CARDS
TOTAL WITH SHIPPING AND TAX: 2086.14
if you PM me, I can share with you what I do to source
PC components at the lowest prices here in the US.
best,
mike ball
