Case: http://www.axiontech.com/prdt.php?item=34633 $72 EPIA 8000A: http://www.axiontech.com/prdt.php?item=34667 $91 Factory installation: $25
Total: $188 per node, plus S&H. Plus we have to flash the BIOSes ourselves which would be a hassle since we can't just boot off a Clustermatic cdrom. On the plus side, we've ordered from these guys before and they didn't screw us on anything I ordered, and they accept government PO's. Meh, I tried.

Can't you just do a network boot? These epias do pxe out of the box right? Shouldn't be too hard...
In a cluster environment you could host the PXE server on the cluster and anything that gets attached will be converted automatically :) (As long as it PXE boots out of the box)

no, we don't use pxe.

see the Pink system to see how we do boot. Linux is in the flash. We have reasons for this ...

No, I meant for flashing LinuxBIOS on the thingies... Sorry for being unclear :)
