Have you seen the price? For that money, i can buy a car! :-O The press in UK says the min spec can be bought for £4,000, about half the UK price of a reasonable new small car, min spec. |

5900 euro plus VAT (20%) is the minimum price in Italy. |

Just found this Tesla. Okay who's going to port the apps to run on it? Oh wait a minute I think the lunatics are already on the case. So when we get an app and one of these things we should be able to rip through the data, they won't need the single redundancy stuff. It might even beat the frozen nelly :) BOINC blog |

NVIDIA site says "250x the compute performance of a PC" so 250 X 5,000 RAC = 12,50,000 (1.25 million), Wow. Is that possible? |

if u have highly parallel code , yes ... |

I have added 'ARMARI Magnetar TDX Pro' to my wish list. It is only “100 times faster than standard PCâ€Â, but that is enough for me :) |

Aww, that's disappointing. When you go to build one, there's practically no options. You only get one case, one PSU, one mobo, but you can put your choice of three different Xeons on there (and it's only a 2-socket board), one choice for 16gb of RAM. It was looking promising, and then it killed itself with the lack of options and diversity. I think they're trying to be Alienware all over again.

Yeah, but will it play Tetris? :P Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas. Albert Einstein |

Yeah, but will it play Tetris? You can play PONG w/ highest resolution and all advanced features.....but sadly, still can't max-out Crysis ; > ) |

The Xeon is only there to "feed" the CUDA-based processors that actually do the heavy lifting. |

Yeah, but will it play Tetris? Hi, you do mention a very CPU;DRAM & VIDEO/SOUND demanding game, though :). 2x X9775, should do the trick, but even them I wander, if you can play the game AND crunch SETI (Optimized,SSSE3x,SSE4.1/(4.2)) on all cores! But why would you dothat? . |

You wouldn't be able to feed it enough WU's to keep it busy! (Unless you could trick boinc into "seeing" the 960 cores). |

You wouldn't be able to feed it enough WU's to keep it busy! Well in that case give seti a high percentage priority over other projects and then just keep feeding the thing with more projects until its hunger for work is satisfied [so long as the projects have software that will run on it] I fancy the big £10.000 all in model, anyone know this weeks lottery numbers..... O, their again you may want to keep them for yourself..... :)) |

Bahahah! Imagine clustering THAT computer. A computer cluster, computer cluster... I wonder how that would work out. However if I had the money I would use that to cut my blender render times by 250 times! |
