I'd guess 4-8 weeks.  We are looking at "blade-based" configurations so that
they can scale to pretty large numbers of nodes (ie 14 nodes per 7U of rack
space, each node = dual opteron).  We want 16-24 nodes to start with, but plan
on scaling this up as the year progresses...  These things are very dense,
as you can tell.
