First SuperComputer Build (would appreciate advice)

Quote from Formless : After reading every post here, only one of the early ones deserves any merit. We can post what we'd all like in a machine, but OP really needs to give us an idea on usage. Specific applications are what will matter here. If we're talking about MATLAB or SPSS, we'll need a different setup than Adobe CS6, and then a different set for ERP. We don't even know which OS we're looking at. Windows is mentioned, but are we to assume Windows 7 Pro or similar? Is this a multiboot environment and/or are there multiple OS's running at the same time? OP, let's get some details if possible.

Thanks for recognizing my dual Xeon post earlier. I agree it's the one with the most merit for "data processing"

Where you can actually use the word "Super" :

Don't have a super budget? You can still own a Cray supercomputer and unleash the proven technology and reliability of the industry leader. New entry level configurations and options allow you to configure the optimal balance of Price, Performance, Power and Footprint for your unique and exacting requirements.

Starting at just $200K, you can leverage the same innovative processing, interconnect, accelerators, software stack, and partner ecosystem developed for the world's most powerful HPC systems.

Suprised to see $200K doesn't even get you an "Intel Inside" sticker...

If only it had HDMI output....
