I had good luck with older Tyans, like a decade ago.  However, around 1.5
years ago I got a Tyan 1U system in for trial, and the damn thing wouldn't
fit in our damn cabinets.  I mean, there are international standards on
these things.  I was pretty disappointed with it.

On the topic of 20 CPUs for $20k, the dual quad core systems pack a lot of
horsepower and you can get there with just 2 systems (minus the head-end).
