I saw that you can get a Xeon Phi workstation with 72-cores with 4 threads each. It's supposed to run Windows Server and it supports OpenCL so maybe BOINC would just work?

I think it was Ivan that had one for work, and had a go with LINUX & Seti and it wasn't as straightforward as it first appeared.
However under Windows Server & using the OpenCL application, it maybe much more doable? There's only one way to find out.

A couple here have played with them, but none have reported any success in using them.

Cheers.

With it needing a custom closed-loop liquid cooling setup, I can't imagine it will be inexpensive, but I am certain that it won't even come _close_ to Nvidia's new system the DGX-1. If I remember correctly, wasn't that around $129k? I can't imagine even fully optioned up that it will come to half of that.

Ivan posted a lot about it in:

He's also posted from time to time in other threads. Do an Advanced search in his posts.
