Grandpa Is building a new folding toy

[Grandpa]

Hi all just though I would let you all know I am getting ready to build a new folding rig. Thought I would post the hardware here and see what you all thought.

CPU / 4 - AMD Opteron 6174's http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AM...TCEGOWOF).html

Motherboard / SuperMicron http://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/moth...x0/H8QGi-F.cfm

Memory / 32GB Gskill 1333Mhz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231492

And of course my ASUS Matrix GTX 580 Platnimum

Redundant 1400W high-efficiency power supply with PMBus http://www.supermicro.com/products/p...S-1K41F-1R.pdf

Cooling will eventually be liquid

Should have this puppy together in a couple of weeks. I am working on getting a modified bios for it that will allow a 12 1/2 % OC on it. The rig should be good for around 500,000+ PPD for around 700W.

I conside anything that goes into the mancave a toy although I would call this one a really big toy

Luckily where I live the average summer temp is 72F so it should not be too bad on most days. That and the fact that I am moving 3 other computers out of the office since there is not enough power in the room to run them all. I guess the next step will be adding more power to the room. My wife says I better start working so O.T. and do more honey doo's to pay for my toys and electricity. LOL I learned along time ago to say yes dear.

Thanks my wife said something about me being crazy

Using some parts I already have and buying CPU's pulled from servers on e-bay around $3000.00 US so not too bad. If you had to buy everything new retail around $7000.00

GrandPa...i wish the world was filled with lunatics just like you...
think of the money the world would save on military expenses alone..
maybe feed the rest of the world with the surplus....or i dont know..
