I just noticed that microcenter has i7-2600k's for $280
if you pick them up in person.  Glad I didn't buy the i5
system I was thinking of... for an extra $50 over what I was planning,
I can get kernel compilation times of 215 seconds instead of 347
seconds, judging by
http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1101154-IV-1101147IV67
and
http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1107093-GR-KERNELCOM03

I've updated the system spec at the bottom of
http://kegel.com/new-computer-2011.html
though I don't know when I'll need to buy another system,
so this is really just window shopping at this point.
