Extreme calculations call for extreme computing power

Hello, friends,
as some of you probably already know, I never place a live trade until I perform an extensive research and simulation of the given trading system first.
Demanding statistical calculations and brute force / genetic optimizations call for an extreme computing power. So I'm setting up a new research server for me based on Intel Quad Core architecture:
Is there anything more rewarding than setting up a new high-performance computer?
By the way, you won't believe what happened to me in Tucson: Avery (TheRumpledOne) got a new computer by mail and he left it untouched in the hall for almost the whole day! That's just unbelievable. At the end of the day, it was getting unbearable: "I have to unwrap it for you, Avery. I can't stand the new computer in the house being ignored like this". Avery laughed. Weird. Am I being different or what?
