No, since I don't have money to burn (but did want to play) so I'm in consumer-grade space (k8v, 1G, amd64 3200+). For that, comptechworld.nl is my "huisleverancier", although they are more expensive than the rock-bottom stuff you can get now (computerland.nl sells a msi neo + cpu for E350). switch.nl will sell you just about anything if you ask :) They got a collegue of mine an sk8n w/ 4G (of which the BIOS apparently only sees 3.5 G - very odd). That was around E2000 for the full system. For big dually boxes, I really don't know whether post-order parts stores (even if they will assemble for you) will cut it. CTW was willing to custom-build a dual athlon MP w/4G back in the day that that was da bong, though. -- Adriaan de Groot adridg@cs.kun.nl Kamer A6020 024-3652272 GPG Key Fingerprint 934E 31AA 80A7 723F 54F9 50ED 76AC EE01 FEA2 A3FE http://www.cs.kun.nl/~adridg/research/
