I was following a link when I found the Supermicro site. I honestly had never heard of them before. I got looking around and saw the quad board. Seeing how the dual board is $900 CDN at a local store, I'd have to guess the quad at $1200.
Anywho, here's the link to the board, and get a load of the 16 slot-32GB memory riser .

Let's see $1079 CDN a piece for 2.4a Xeons, $4316.
And I'll guess-timate $225 a stick for 512 ECC PC2100 x 16, $3600. And that's only for 1/4 of the total DDR this beast can run.

$7900 CDN, just for CPU's and 'some' memory, and the board is probably $1200 more.
$9100, plus 15% taxes here...$10.5K.

Let's see, down payment on a house, or a killer cluster. hmmmm.
