I'd like to run fairly intensive simulation software and would like to get one of the 4-way R4400 boards - but it seems unlikely that I'll ever get one for much less than 1900-2000 dollars. I'd appreciate any guidance you can give me.

i don't know what quad R4400 boards go for, but if you look, you can find quad
R10K boards on ebay for anywhere from $700-$1200 each with $1200 generally
being a buy it now, or at least a high reserve for those people who want to
squeeze every last penny out of the deal.  if quad R4400 boards really are $2k
then you need to get quad R10K boards since they are cheaper. ;)
