Linux Cluster = Awesome Power
I ran across this little article while perusing the Hack A Day feed, in which Janne of Svensk Film Effekt built a networked Linux cluster of ub3r proportions. Using a modified Ikea Helmer cabinet and six maxed out motherboards, running at a combined 57.6 (six quad core Intel cpus) GHz and utilizing a combined 48 gigabytes (six motherboards holding 8 gigs each). Needless to say, animation renders previously taking hours would take only several minutes using this beast.
