[Tfug] Server purchase

[Joshua Bernstein]

Claude,

	*cough cough* Try Penguin Computing (www.penguincomputing.com). The  
prices are not the lowest in the business but the quality of the  
machines is solid. Also, with the newer chips coming in, we may  
likely have discounts on older machines. *end cough cheap plug cough*

	If you are interested in a refurb machine, e-mail me off list with  
an idea of what you want to spend and the specs and I can check to  
see what we have in our inventory.
