You left out the cost of all your time to make the hardware mods, do all
the testing, extra cooling devices, etc.
Personally, I don't feel your machine is faster for most people than a
dual PII-450 (which overclock nicely to 504mhz) and for some people it
will be slower. Also, the hours that you spent make it more expensive
than buying the real deal unless you flip burgers for a living.
So since celerons do NOT run in SMP mode without making hardware mods
to them, can you find some other venue for this? It's adding a substantial
amount of noise to a forum which normally has a rather high S/N.
