I agree with Core i5 or i7.

My apologies I thought I put this in there probably about $2,500 although that may drop down to $1,500 if I plan on buying some new servers/building some new servers.

So I'd say judge between $1,500 - $2000

I got an email from http://www.NCIX.ca saying it would be out May 2010.

I don't think there's much point in a home environment.

The build I posted above doesn't include HDDs by the way. Just an SSD boot drive.

You could use link aggregation if both the router and NIC supports it to "bond" the two connections together to give double the speed.

Or it could just be to connect two ethernet devices.

That's what I was thinking - with the SSD I mean.

Bingo.
