Most "dualie" machines are built like this (buy your own motherboard and processors, plug them in and go). Otherwise, you get into the "server" pricing with most companies, and pay highly inflated prices... You might log on to ICC and talk to either Mike Byrne (fitter) or Jason Deines (jasondes) as both have recently done this quite economically. Other ways would be to visit www.pricewatch.com, which has prices for dualie (and quad) boards...
