for a couple months continuously. Overpriced Xeons are not needed.

GPU support is being introduced into ITK right now:

http://www.itk.org/Doxygen/html/group__ITKGPUAnisotropicSmoothing.html
however not many filters have GPU implementations, so buying expensive
dedicated graphics card probably does not pay off if you use it primarily
with ITK. GPU built into motherboard or processor would be OK.

     I am intending to use the PC for image registration with ImageJ (rigid
transformation) and ITK (deformable and affine steps + averaging) in
Linux with Windows for some routine work running on virtual machine inside =
