I know that there are A LOT of guys that build systems on the net for a cheap
price, you can get dual amd 2.56ghz cpu's for under 500 dollars (and thats both)
those run DF8 at about 2800kn/sec  to give you an idea for its speed.

if you are interested in such things, let me know i can give you some contacts,
as i'm sure others can aswell.
