Let's all take a moment and dream a little ?

[glebe digital]

Can I wake up yet?
They'll have to redesign the task manager soon...........our screens won't be wide enough....

[ivox3]

That's what dual monitors are for .......

[Maxer]

I've got 44" of screen to fill up, I think I'm ready to try!

Thanks Ivox, My company just ordered 3 system using your LIST
I told them this was "the only" way that I could multi-task all the stuff that they want

I was just pricing out what it would currently cost to put together a 16 core machine.

* There's no real deals to be had on parts with the exception of memory(prices have come down on FB dimms), .. so the pricing is what it is..

Motherboard: Supermicro X7QC3 : $1200.00
http://www.supermicro.com/products/moth ... /X7QC3.cfm

Processor: Intel Xeon 7350 Tigerton 2.93Ghz Quad $2500.00 x 4 : $10,000.00
Case/Enclosure [have to use proprietary]: $250.00 [this is a guess]
Memory: 16GB's : $800
PS: $500.00
HD's: 2 WD1500 Raptors + external Seagate 500GB : 550.00
Optical : 100.00
OS: 200.00
_______________

$13,600.00 [IMO, .. that's not all that out of control] ... ???

I guess that's the going rate on bleeding edge without having to network a farm, ... so, all that in a single box.
That's a banging machine .......

The best machine on the Benchwell page is similar, ..with this one being a tad quicker [2.4Ghz vs. 2.93Ghz]. So, .. this uber-machine would have an extra 8.48Ghz of processing, .... so I'm guessing it would come in around 3-4min. on the test scene.

Damn Leo ! ....... your supposed to tell them I sent you ! 8anet.com ??

That's one of the good places to pick up the Xeon's and the motherboard. that's close to $50K,.. ..are you serious... ?


ps. I forgot to add a VC in that list, .. but what's another 2-300 ?

Just Kidding... Things are not so great here in Miami (They over built the whole city and now Architecture firms like mine are suffering)

Forget about the 16 core... I'm glad I still have a job

[ivox3]

Yeah ... a common affliction.

Poor get poorer, ..and the rich get chased down by the poor.

[Leonardo]

And happy people are happy

[ivox3]

And that's the point.


Now go get me a 16 machine.

[Leonardo]

And that's the point.


Now go get me a 16 machine.

On Dec. 26th I'm taking my "1896" Multy Million $ sketch to the "Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts" in Philadelphia to see what they can do for me!

Who knows!

It's hard to picture Leo ... I mean, .. I see a guy looking like your avatar walking up with a pic in-between some newspaper looking for a fat check ... Hey man, .. never know, .. don't forget who sent you to 300. LOL.. I still haven't seen it ....... lol.. ...and vice versa, ... I'm currently sitting on a 106 million dollar mega lottery ticket, ... I'm just too lazy to go down to the lottery headquarters and fill out forms. ....really.

Wait a second... You haven't seen 300? are you kidding me?
Please PM me your address again and tell me how you want it (HD DVD, Blue-Ray, DVD) maybe Xmas will arrive early this year

[Leonardo]

BTW I can't imagine Bruce Lee picking up a 106 M$ lotto ticket ... I just can't!! what are you talking about???

[ivox3]

I'm just a regular guy, ....who pays bills and maybe from time to time, ..who crushes a windpipe or two.
