Neat. :) I wonder how they actually managed to cool it down. Is it too much to ask for pictures?

Now I just need a a boatload of cash to pick up a fully-filled 42U rack... Then I'll finally find the end of Pi.

Oni I NEED one first! I DESERVE one! I've been good this year! Just ask Santa!

LOL

Slvr I agree.. I'd LOVE to actually have seen a picture of the board if nothing else. With 4 CPU fans and case cooling these puppies must sound like jet turbines! But for use in computer rooms in larger companies that's not to be unexpected.

So we have two athlon Thunder MP boards in a 1U mount.

Reasoning: Supports 4 CPUs and 8GB memory and has 2 video ports. Sounds like 2 x thunders to me.

Must be some fairly neat packaging.

You have a point. It does sound that way.

Heh heh. I just hope that no one needs to mount monitors to all those graphics cards at one time. ;) It would make for a neat wall though...

I thougt that the Athlon Mp cpu and supporting chipsets only went dual. Have never heard of a 4/way athlon board or chipset.

This must be a 2 motherboard configuration. Althou very useful for clusters or space restricted environments.
