Here is a decent quad-core phenom kit for those on a budget and wanting to upgrade. It only has one PCI-e slot but would be a good upgrade for someone only crunching on a single core or older HT P4/Core2Duo.

That would be a nice little setup. Can I borrow $200?

Thats a whole computer, that with DrPops 460 find you could have what 400k a day for 300 bucks. I'm not for 1 PCI-e systems but if your grandma is still using a p4 to check her FB it would be a nice gift .

Was looking at this one the other day. Considering it with some others.
What do you think this machine would pull in a day using CPU only...with say like, Primaboinca?
Just a complete guess on my part based on what my systems where doing when I was crunching full time with 10 cores...........15-18K a day would be my best guess.
This is using AMD CPUs, don't know how they compare to Intel in Prime.
It's a good deal, but if you seriously get into crunching...you will be fit to be tied having bought a mobo with only one PCI-e slot, down the road. Is there any way they let you upgrade these things to a 2 slot mobo for a nominal fee?
The quad AMD's do quite well on Primaboinca, and PG as well. Slicker had one sub-project of PG going on his big AMD Opty rigs that were out producing AQUA in credits / day.
Of course, if you get real into the points thing (man, you guys have really turned me into a credit h* the last couple months! ), there is nothing like a good GPU to make you happy. $100 gets you 300-400k / day, and that's just a starter card these days...it's all up from there depending on the model!
