[Bioclusters] Call for information.

[Goran Ceric]

I've got some 1 GHz/256k and some Tualatins 1.4 GHz/512k. At the time I 
purchased dual 1GHz's they cost the same like 1.4 GHz Tualatins now. These 
are all PE 1550's. It was about 2,500.00 a node. 2 CPU's, dual EEPro 100, 1 
73 GB Seagate Cheetah 10k U3 SCSI. You're right. I was thinking about 175K 
for 64 duals + 2 racks (5-10K) + a couple of switches (3-4K). So yeah, 
there would be good chunk of money left :)
