      With that many cores, you can just imagine how many 'Apples' it ate. πŸ’š

        Does it come with a free nuclear power plant to keep the thing running? Otherwise I'm sure it almost immediately brings the local grid down.

          apparently it will run on a normal office supply. Probably wouldnt want to hook too many up on an extension lead though...

              This guy built a 24 core, 48 GB render farm in an Ikea cabinet for seemingly next to nothing, and he's planning on building a 96 core version. No indication what actually he is using as rendering software, but who cares?

              He gives fairly detailed descriptions of the assembly...and none of this looks particularly difficult.

                That looks like good fun, a beast as well.

                As for the software, i iamgine it would be pretty simple with an unbiased render engine like maxwell or indigo, as you could jsut set each of the motherboards up as a slave and render like that.

                Not sure where you could fins 6 quad cores very cheaply though, i thought the going rate was about 100 quid πŸ˜• even assuming you got them half price your still looking at 300 quid for the CPUs alone. But then thats a render farm for you πŸ˜‰

                  well, im still sticking with alienware's octuple core monster with 4 terabytes of memory.
                  and yes juju, it will run crysis, very very well.

                      Good find, its a pity there arent really many render engines that run on GPU power, youd be sorted otherwise!

                      Not to mention that fac that you could play crysis on a cinema screen on 'very high' settings πŸ˜†

                        I was at an IKEA today and was very tempted to buy a Helmer...
