This is all true for the seasoned Myth user but for someone just getting
into it or considering getting in to it, real world costs are quite
valuable for putting things in perspective. The more recent the better.
The op is not looking for exact prices/specs in order to duplicate a
system. In fact, he did not ask for "detailed explanations about how we
all built our systems", he was trying to see the big picture and decide
if it is worth it for him. IMO there is no better way than to ask those
that have done it.
Me thinks you may want to re-read the original post. :-)
