OP OP Brinson Daemon Poster Messages 1,195 Aug 31, 2007 #4 Not sure, he built it using X2 3800+s...and according to Microwulf: Hardware Manifest he paid $165 each for them... So, it looks like he bought the parts a while ago...I bet you could build it for closer to 1k now with some budget shopping... Pay the same as him for motherboards ($80, though I bet you could get a better deal now) and use x2 3600+ brisbanes seriously overclocked... and then use: Corsair 2048MB PC5400 DDR2 667MHz Memory Kit (2 x 1024MB) at TigerDirect.com for ram instead of the $120 he paid a stick you pay $30... $320 $240 $256 ------ $816 And you spend $816 on what he spent $1972 for... I bet you could easily cut it below $1200 for your own supercomputer...
