But yikes!!! those prices!
I would be paying $340 for my g550 + 5 g450's.
I'd be paying $2844 for the 22 people. But where would
I find the room for the USB keyboards/mice?

Wouldn't it be sweet to do a project like that some
place, to find out what the real bottlenecks would be.
Probably the PCI bandwidth like you say...

My son is graduating this semester from the same
place, with degrees in math, compsci and music. But I
could not interest him in the project either. Maybe
because he knows who would be judging him.
