    If you are looking for another computer there are HP xw8200's going for about $300 on ebay. A seller named "rogerky" is selling two xw8200's a day. He lists two every 24 hours. They are going for about $300 each (free shipping). They are dual ZEON's with four gig and . Great deal for someone. Here is a link to one listing:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/1-FAST-HP-PC-3-2-GHZ-XW8200-WORKSTATION-WIN-XP-2-PRO_W0QQitemZ2004...item2eaa40e8a1

    I'm a big fan of HP workstations. I don't know how many he has, but when they are gone they are gone.
    Depends what the definition of the word inhale is.

    The QUADRO FX 540 is far from lame for what that workstation was design to do. It's not a gaming rig, it's designed CAD and NLE, and it is a good price

    Perfect for those guys asking about Autocad and 3D animation.

    Also close to the approved xw8400 for AVID Media Composer. Can be upgraded to full spec.
    (The xw-8200 w/3.4 GHz Xeons is on the list).

    Here is an alternate source to compare.

    Less RAM, Single 3.2 GHz Xeon, better Quadro card.

    same chips as a 6600 - can't be used for cuda acceleration is my only complaint.

    Okay deal, but it's not mega super-duper special. If you need to replace a 5-year-old computer, this would be an upgrade, sure.
