Yeah I agree Linux SMP is our best option for the Quad; Windows being too much $$ and headache. Affinity Changer is a windows-only service.

Ah. I did not realize. Okay, so do we have 1440 American dollars or 1400 Canadian Dollars?

I think the exchange rate is close enough right now to largely ignore the difference in currencies at least when roughing out gear. My comment above was intended to get folks thinking about Canadian retailers rather than US ones. Customs fees would be a killer if the gear is shipped across the border.

what about graphics cards? Do I understand correctly that they produce far more than CPUs or even PS3s? If so, wouldn't it be better to get some ATI 1xxx cards and simply use the CPU to feed them?

So does my idea not hold any water?
If we really need flash drives. We can buy $4 256 MB flash drives and use them to store the information and still run 64-Bit Linux off the live CD that adds an extra $8 so we would need to come up with ~$13.

Don't worry about US vs. Can retailers too much.
If we want, we can get it shipped to the US then reshipped to Can. I will pay for shipping as long as it's not too crazy  If we were to buy PS3s, we should look for them in Canada though as I think pricing is becoming similar if not better.

So do we have a final hardware list of what we are purchasing? I will order a new KVM this week (it will not come from our budget) so that the team can mange the boxes.
