I believe the <$600 QuadCore BoincBox has become a reasonable goal:


Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail - $299.99


Anyone with building experience want to start a thread and shed a little light?

A Q6600 boincbox build is never far from my thoughts. . .


Results 1 - 9 of 9 from hardwaresecrets.com for Q6600.
