$85 barebones system for AMD setups :p

[meshmesh]

I look at it a bit differently:
AMD: X2 3800+ setup: MB + CPU + RAM = 357 USD
Intel E6400 setup: P5B deluxe + E6400 + Corsiar 6400C4 + Cheep VGA = $600

Common to both setups: HS + Case + PSU + HD + fans = $200 (assume linux OS)

So total cost of system: AMD $557, C2D $800

The question then becomes a price performance ratio. I think this C2D E6400 setup would produce 6500 points per day. Don't know about AMD though.
Will the AMD system produce more or less than 70% of the C2D production? If more then it is better, if less then the C2D wins.
