New FSF-certified libreboot workstations available from Viking for under $1,000 Euros; 8-core AMD Opteron chips

This is fairly exciting. Viking had a more expensive workstation available with libreboot with a beefier Opteron chip, but this new "Viking D8" should be able to handle most workloads:

Trisquel 8 is the primary OS Viking offers at this time.

I was able to spec one for $775 Euros plus $164 shipping to America for a total of $939. That includes the processor, an 8 core, 3000 MHz beast called the Opteron 4284 that was first introduced in November, 2011 (2 Opterons max); 8 GB of ram (32GB max); a GeForce GT 710 card; a small hdd, case, power supply, 2 year warranty. Not bad pricing. 16GB of ram and a decent sized SDD will add another $175 to the total. European customers will have to deal with the VAT tax.
