Then you would just need a chassis to put it in. SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ ID: 1835209 ·

So you would be set if you picked one up every so often. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=Dell+PowerEdge+M1000E+Chassis&_sop=12 SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ ID: 1835215 ·

Anyhow, this would allow 320 physical cores in 10U space. The power consumption of those monster are also impressive. I am running one blade chassis with 16 servers in, and it is tipping the scale at around 3.3kW ID: 1835230 ·
