No word from Intel yet, though I actually haven't written to them. :-( But we have heard from elsewhere. :-)
It is unclear whether the money should/could be used to purchase an i7. Doesn't Jason Moxham already have one? Jason Martin also has one on order. But it really is a non-trivial thing to provide space/electricity for hardware. So trust me, we might just take up that kind offer! For future reference, do you have a rack or are you talking about floor/desk/bench/back room space? Bear in mind that running a normal desktop PC can cost £30 a month in electricity. Running a high end multi-core server can cost three times that!!
