Well - I'm keeping the processors I bought for the zMAXDP: two Opteron 252,
socket 940.  I'm also keeping the memory (2 Gig Crucial) and drives (2
Western Digital 400 Gig SATA drives for use in a RAID 0 set up).

So I've ordered an Asus K8N-DL nVidia nForce4 Pro 2200 motherboard (PCI-e)
and a BFG Tech GeForce 7900 GT 256 MB to put in it.

For containment I got the Antec Sonata-II case with a Liberty 500w PSU.  I
also went a little overboard and ordered two Swiftech MCX6400-V Coolers for
the CPUs.

With the cluster f*ck of the returns and everything the total cost is going
to be just under $3000.

That assumes, of course that all this new stuff will actually work together!
