I just finished an interconnect survey article for Doug and
ClusterWorld Magazine. As part of the article I have a nice
table with list prices for 8 nodes and 128 nodes for the
various interconnects. It should be out in the May issue
so be sure to look for it.

However, to match what Roger said, one IB vendor gave me
a list price for 8-ports of IB for under $8,000.
