raysyu Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 This node is made and designed by myself, originally for my friend and I duplicated this one for myself. spec: 1. Four computers hooke together by IP address 2. Micro ATX form factor for compact size 3. 4 AMD toledos offer 8 bucket for DR 4. Glowing date cable as nice view. 5. 4 by 250G hard drives mapped together 6. Laser cut acrylic finish. Crystalic!! Assembled by flat head screen with counter sink fit. 7. KVM in the bottom allows one set of I/O, switch between computer by short cut key or remote screen control. 8. Cut and resoldered cable for perfect fit in. Intensive reconnection work tho. 9. Leave sides open for max air flow and easy maintenance Interested? Let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raysyu Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 Low Noise Level. The Freezers Work Pretty Quiet. So Do The Power Supplies. It Is Scilent, But Works Very Hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raysyu Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 I bought parts here and there. So the final price is between $2000 to $2500, I guess. It depends on what kinda CPU, how big the memory and hard drivers are, etc. But I spent about $80 to buy those stainless screws(priced like gold in US), which is not very acceptable. KVM is a device by the first letter of "Keyboard, Video and Mouse", it allows one set of I/O device to control multiple computers, therefore you don't need load I/O for each computer. Mapped driver is very easy. You should at least have a switch, a wireless router is also ok as what I am using. However with switches, you can reach up to 1G data transfer speed. Each computer has different local IP address to provide valid access. Then you are able to visite each shared hard drive via "my network place" in Windows. I don't know where the complete tutorial of how to build a render node is on internet. I have years experience of hardware, so this node to me is just about how to make a beautiful case.
