Just a suggestion. I purchased 4 Dell R900's on eBay for $150 each. Each unit has 4 Quad core CPU's, so 16 cores each, with 16GB of ram each. That gives me 64 cores for my distributed rendering. These are huge beasts though, at 90lbs a piece, and freight was another $150, so I spent about $750 total to get 64 cores of processing power. So far, fast as hell, even running at 50%.

But I am running Windows 7 Ultimate on each one, giving me access to only two CPU sockets or 8 cores on each machine. I am in the process of installing Ubuntu Linux on each machine, then Virtual Box to run my Win 7. This should "fake out" windows and allow me access to all the cores. Send me an e-mail if you want to know how this all turns out!

Hi cmassner,
did you find the used dell D900 for $ 150 each on ebay? I can not find them so cheaply with 4 Quad core CPU's.
But it sounds very interesting...

Hi, how do I make this facade easiest? It's vertical slats which are turned soft almost as you map a picture on them. I hope it is understandable
