I'll post, because I'm probably not the only person here who wants a beowulf.

Right now, the preferred hardware is:
Intel S1200KP, an ecc friendly m-itx board with two nic's. About £150
Xeon E3-1275 v2 or similar - four cores at 77W. Also about £150
16gb of ecc ram £100 or so
EK cpu block £30
150W pico-psu £20

That lot comes to £450, ish. Throw on some overhead for networking, part of a radiator and 12V PSU and call it £500.

The issue is that I then want as many of those as I could possibly have. 64 would just about fit into a 6kW thermal envelope, so I'd like 64 of them for 32 grand please.
 
 
probably just a watercooled version of what I currently own, but with a second titan. wouldn't feel comfortable fitting waterblocks on such expensive gcards though lol. Thought it was nerve wracking enough doing it on 2x £380 cards around 15 months ago!

If I had that kind of money to throw on a PC (lucky you :p) I would buy two pre-blocked Titans, and then pay someone to build the system for me :D

Even better, make a custom order from OcUK and spend a day there with them while they build it :)

You do almost litterally have my dream PC.

3930K - check
16GB+ RAM - check
Pointlessly high clock speed on RAM - check
Samsung 840 Pro - check
A decent amount of storage space - check
TITAN - check
600T Silver - check
Seasonic PSU - check
Mechanical keyboard - check

Only things I would change are having a custom water loop, a different motherboard, probably a lower wattage PSU (1050 maybe), and more storage :D

Everyone nicking my 'stupid basket' idea :rolleyes:

When I did it, I at least made a system that would work! :D

However, I would gladly take 10 TITAN's for £8 :p

Yeah pre blocked titans are definitely a good idea when the gpus cost this amount of money! I really miss watercooling as its just great, but the titan is so damn quiet, even at full load, Its not really required tbh.
