 A minimum confguration machine would land at about 520 USD excluding value
added tax if I shop around. And going a bit upscale with PSU, casing and
fan/cooling would  add less than a hundred.
 Buying an Opteron workstation 2x244 would currently cost ~1550-1750 USD
depending on extras. So there is still a 30-50% premium on a dual box :(
