I want this ...
-
... but I cannot afford it.
-
32 core machine for 39k ... yikes!
and the winning lottery numbers are ...
-
Pete,
I am waiting for those numbers........

Could you pick one up for me with your lottery winnings pete? cheers
"Maximum power usage is 1200W" any chance you could lend us a few thousand to cover the electricity bill as well?
-
Hm... As for now, the 39k version is about a year and a half income for me. So maybe in two years I can afford it...
I wonder how fast it could be at rendering!
-
Itd be like having a render farm but without the need for the farm, mmmmm.
Think of the huge renders you could do with the 128gb of memory, 100,000x100,000 anyone?
-
Actually, I could imagine to run it as a render farm for others who have poorer machines but set up their scenes (even animations) and pay for the render time on this machine. If you have the market for this, you could cover the costs in a year or so I believe.
-
Would love to see how windows task manager reports activity over all those cores.
-
Imagine a rig like this with SU using multi-cores on Linux (as Lewis "reported" his machine doing it...
-
Bugger work, the big question is ... How does it run Crysis?!
-
Probably not that well actually, unless you can put in a load of graphics cards. Im sure it wouldnt have too much trouble with the physics engine though
-
The big question is, as far as I'm concerned, will this provide me with the kind of processing power for the doomsday device I've been working on?
muhahaha!
-
You going to render it?
-
Could it even run Vista maybe?
-
-
With that many cores, you can just imagine how many 'Apples' it ate.
-
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...
-
I tihnk ive found something to trump that machine: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6783
Kind of cheating a bit
-
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.
