I would recommend the rack mount setup you can get different video cards just because most people expand and rac mounting is the best way to do it.

Hi,

looking at newegg here's what I've used to get approx. 700-800Mhash/s, and power requirements around 810W, so you can still attach some 3W LED's to visually track hash crunching. :)

Total of $875, since i didn't calculate flash memory or HDD since if you're lucky you can get one 4GB flash drive along with the DDR3 memory mentioned above. No DVD too (who needs 'em anymore?).
