I want to buy a $40000 1 tera flop cluster to keep it in a room. What are the standard configurations?

Cluster is supposed to do molecular dynamics simulations on biological systems.

I'm proposed a 4 pc with 8 cores each by the selling company I'm deadling with. It looks like I also need infiniband. Does some one has an experience -- what phisical memory should I buy etc?

I know things change very quickly... Still there might be a point or two to state.

Edit:

OS is supposed to be linux, application is gromacs.
