I suspect the time frame is longer than that, although the window-of-opportunity for the money is apparently on the order of days, and a quote before the procurement meeting would help. Any ideas? Who's good? What it should cost? Thanks!" If you're quick, maybe you can become the world's newest manufacturer of custom beowulf clusters.

I have never set one up, but maybe visiting the Beowulf might be a good starting point. Other links include the Beowulf Clusters page at Yahoo and the Oak Ridge Extreme Linux Page.
If you don't find any answers to your quest then you could always buy 10 dual-processor machines, configure one and then copy its HD image to the other 9 ( I have never tried this ).
