I contacted CyberPower and told them who I was, sent them to this tread, and they agreed to build it for $2194 with water cooling added, about the cost Mike or I could build it.
Well I see there is about $1500 in the kitty, not counting checks coming in snail mail.
Since my maching is on its last legs, and I don't expect it last much longer, I would be willing to put in as well.
