Seems like this monster including rack and 4 IRU's located in Florida was not even tempting for 200 bucks...

Was tempting at $200, but not with the $500 more in S&H to get it to California...

AFAIK the A450 was delivered with the ATI Fire MV 2200 and supports PCI-E. So it's fully possible to get a decent PCI-E based gfx-adapter that comes with linux IA-64 drivers.

Yes it was, using a special I2E/I4E blade. Lot's of work required and in the end it's no different than a Radeon in a PC with Linux.
