HP Direct
If you don't know about HP Direct you should check it
out. I've found this program very useful. They setup a website for
you with 5-18% discount and you get assigned a sales rep that actually
answers the phone. They even have a parts number search engine. More info...

If you're developing Linux on Itanium you need to visit
this site daily. Join the federation and help the effort as well as
take advantage of the software starting to populate the site.

| $39,500 cluster gets over 471 GFLOPS |

At the University of Kentucky, KASY0,
a Linux cluster of 128+4 AMD Athlon XP 2600+ nodes, achieved 471 GFLOPS
on 32-bit Linpack. At a cost of less than $39,500, that makes it the
first supercomputer to break $100/GFLOPS. It also is the new record holder for POV-Ray 3.5 render speed.
The reason this "Beowulf" is so cost-effective is a new network
architecture that achieves high performance using standard hardware:
the asymmetric Sparse Flat Neighborhood Network (SFNN).
