Looks great Leganfuh would be interesting to see how it'd do on the Computer Hope F@H team. :)

      I would put the cost at around $12,000.00 for the twenty Dell Vostro 400's w/2.4 Quad & Evga 8800 GT's displayed  in the picture, plus around $400.00 - $450.00 a month in electricity.

      WOW!!!!
      Even if I could get all the computers, electricity for me would be EXTREMELY expensive because they are almost doubling the cost of it.  I need a wind mill.....
