The Water-Cooled Beast with four QuadCore Opterons

Yes, sounds like a lot doesn’t it?

Folks from Tom’s Hardware along with other folks from Puget Systems  have recently finished putting together a monster computer with total costs of $16k !!  The main goal was to create a quiet performance machine, with four quad-core Opteron CPUs, 32GB of memory and eight hard-drives in various levels of RAID.

The quiet cooling was done with the help of a watercooling system, and a huge nine-fan external radiator.  Each 120mm fan runs at 5V, meaning the whole thing is “nearly silent” but keeps the processors at 36 degrees C at idle or 45 degrees C under load.

What can you do with such a beast of a computer?  Tom’s Hardware doesn’t say.

Yea, but can it run Crysis ??!!??
