When you sya super render computer i take it you mean render farm rather than a pimped out beast machine?

No, I mean Super Render Computer: http://helmer.sfe.se/

Is that just a render farm but squeezed in to a single tower?

oooh, and this looks good: http://helmer2.sfe.se/

I hope he gets round to doing that one, although ive got a feeling its going to be pretty pricey if he builds as he describes, gonna have 24 9800 cards...

gotta love their optimism.

I say one box = a computer, not a farm. Yeah, the second one looks expensive. Helmer 1 would be quite good enough anyway.

Solo's got a point, though. As long as you don't really need it, why bother with a farm?

Actually, a study has recently shown that the skin cells liberated from the slappes face significantly contribute to global warming

But if we could somehow "Harness" that energy . . ..
