A.I. Cluster Desk

Well, I have an ongoing unique project I have been working on for a while. I think I need A little feedback just to keep me going on this.

Lets start with current stats.

Corner Type glass top desk:

2x Zotac GF8200-c-e AMD M-ITX (one per desk for now)
2x 2Gb x 2 Corsair XMS2 800 RAM 2x 2gb kingston
2x Amd Athlon x2 7750 BE @ 3.0GHZ
2x Thermal Take Spin-Q Air Coolers
1x WD Cavair 320 gb HDD 1x hitachi deskstar 160 gb
2x 200W PW-200-M DC/DC 12v Power Supplies.... One now I broke one
2x 22" Viewsonic 1920x1050 lcd (Under Glass top, 1 per top).... One now I broke one
2x Vista Ultimate 64 bit/server 2008/Linux w/ Kerrighed clustering........Mainly sever 08 HPC

Control Tower/Gamer Rig:

Cooler Master Elite Case
2x 120mm Fans
2x IDE CF card readers (PCI cover type, For Booting and installing new OS distributions)
1x Pico LCD
2x LG Super-multi drives
1x A-Power 850 Watt Power Supply (Serves ME well)
Gigabyte MA790X-UD4P motherboard
4x 2Gb Corsair XMS2 800 Ram
Phenom II 940 BE @ 3.4Ghz
Thermal Take Spin-Q Air Cooler (crushed) ............. Stock cooler for now
1x ASUS ATI HD 4870X2 XFire @ 762 MHz Core OC
1x Seagate 1.5Tb HD
Vista Ultimate 64 bit/Server 2008/(Linux w/ Kerrighed clustering)
1x ACER X233H 23" widescreen 1080P Monitor

Now lets talk About Additions.
First, I am Probably going to build the Gigabyte board into the desk like the Zotacs. Second, I have plans for an addition of 6 more Zotac M-ITX motherboards. 4 of which are the GF 8200-c-e (It can handle the Phenom II), Two of which are the last to add Zotac GF9300-d-e M-ITX S775 With Q66 Processors. These last two are realy so I can add two Tesla GPU processor cards (one per desk). Under almost any clustered Single System Image clustering platform, this compilation of motherboards and all the hardware attached to them should be recognized as ONE computer. Of course, I am still learning this clustering processes right now. Using three motherboards and eight processors is not an easy task to overcome when load balancing is concerned.

Enough of My blabber.................... Any Comments/Suggestions/Questions

Zotac Mobo's used

Purposes is what I want to know. What are you going to do with it? It's certainly cool, but unless you can turn your table into a touch-sensitive Tablet PC I can't think of what you'd do with it.

Very cool. Once you get the tablet going it will be awesome

Looks cool how much did all that cost? Id hate to pay out for all that..

Tablet looks like an awesome idea, you could be running a gaming server, maybe going into Shared Hosting as well for websites?
I would also get the whole thing watercooled so you won't have to take care of the fans, would make a very silent system which would be awesome, looking wise too. The desk looks a bit clustered also, your keyboard seems old school, not that it's not working anymore, but something that fits more in the whole thing would be cool, as well a a mouse. For your main screen I personally would get a "hand" so I can move it around.
Just some ideas =)

I Am so confused on how you got 8 processors on three mobos, sorry i am just a teenager and don't know much, could you please elaborate thanks.

Eight processors are not really eight as you would think. Its really eight cores. And three processors.

One PhenomII 940 = 4cores
+
One Kuma 7750 = 2 cores
+
One Kuma 7750 = 2 cores
_______________________
Total = 8 cores or eight processors

The OS I use (Ubuntu + Kerrighed) sees all of these as individual processors in one machine. Enabling it to act as if it were a single PC.

very nice! That will look really cool!

The spin-Q looks bigger than the motherboard.. that's sweet!!!!!

Here is the gigabytes 2675 RPM 201 CFM blower I picked up at none other than a pawn shop. This beast is originally from an air door like at a hospital or warehouse. This thing will move alot of air.

3 dollars ........ pawnshop man!

Dude, where is that pawn shop located at? 3 dollars? lol

Yea im in Texas, but that pawn shop got some nice hardware!!!

I saw that fan on e-bay the other day for 39.99 used..... lol

YAy, im excited for the new pics, take lot of them dude!

^ just a question though,

why do you need all the computing power?

Just kidding although it is pretty high up there I guess. Really I wanted to build something more unique than normal modds can provide. I use this monster for many tings but The four puposes that I am most interested in are 1) Render farm for Autocad, 3DS MAX, Adobe CS4, 2) A bad a$$ Virtual machine 3) A.I. development.

wow.....that does suck....

HMMMF it seems as if the 1.5Tb HDD on the gigabyte hasdied with the rest SHHHHHIIIIIITTTTT

Woooooo Hooooooo

Yep and Im still in the process of adding more. Im not done by a long shot!

Thats f***ing tight dude!

When is the spinq mod comming?

I wonder if you could change the Spinq into an evaporator on a phase change?

That would be SICK!

An 850W A-Power powers the MA790x/PII940/hd4870x2.

These power the zotacs (200W PW-200-M Solid state power supplies from mini-box.com)



Next month I should have my solar panels to charge these (Optima Blue Top Deep cycle Marine batteries 2 per psu) these are to run the PW-200-M PSU's (zotacs) and screens under the glass.

All I can say is WoW !!!! That must take alot of time, money and patience........
