Bah.  What I really want is a multiracked Onyx2.  More realistically, a 
deskside IR w/ MCO or gallileo boards would be great.

A nice Impact (either a High Impact or a Solid Impact) should cost you well
under $400 here.  For an R10k max impact with generous ram, still only $600ish.
But either is out of my price range.  Before too long, if I am feeling panicked
enough, Extremes often go for less than $200, but even that is still to much
for me for a least 3 more weeks, probably longer.
