Hi all,
   I thought I would do this instead of sudoku this morning based
on the question: "If I wanted to build a pc that would be like a Mac
Pro with the newest processors and make it scalable, what would it
look like on newegg". YMMV but it's definitely interesting seeing
that kind of horsepower (16 hyperthreaded cores) for $4400 with the
ability to upscale it with a second processor and RAM. I'm sure the
power supply is overkill. Just some food for thought. You could
probably get a PC for AE for about half this if you just went with
an i7 rig instead of a Xeon rig.
