Hi all,

I m planning to setup a small renderfarm for 3d rendering with 6 I7 CPUs. Now I have got all the 6 I7 CPUs. Now i need to connect these CPUs through network. I m a noob in networking. Now my questions are,

1)What devices I need to connect these I7 CPUs (Router,Modem,Swithces?). As you are aware that 3d rendering is intensive process, what should I take care of while buying the networking Devices.?
2) Can I setup a renderfarm without an internet connection? If yes how can I set it up with the devices I m going to buy.
3) If I cant setup without an internet, then How to set up.

I hope this community will help me.

More information:

CPUs configuration:

I7 processor (920,960,2600K,950)
Supporting MotherBoards
16GB Ram
400W PSU.

Thanks
Muthu
 
Yes, Thanks for the link. But I have read that already. It was great. But it explained me about the rendernodes considerations. But I need help in networking devices- How to interconnect the computers.
