Hello All,
I was just trying to reach out to the forum members for suggestions. I'm currently looking for components to build a Render Workstation for Autodesk products. I don't really have a budget but I would like to keep it around $8,000 or so. I've also been playing with the idea of having two NVIDIA Tesla C1060 so that would already be minus roughly $2400. I don't mind leaving room for upgrades, meaning I'm willing to settle instead of having the best of the best right now and I am mainly directing this towards the graphics card. Eventually I will put a Quadro FX 5800 which is rather expensive.
I have priced several pre-built Supercomputers/Workstations and the median price seems to be around $10,000. So I would like to see if building it myself could reduce the cost a bit. I think 24gbs of DDR3 ram will suffice for now and I can always upgrade later. I don't necessarily have a preference for AMD or Intel server motherboards/processors, but I would like to get the most out of it (ie cores/performance to price). I am rather partial to Lian-Li and the Corsair case is very nice as well =D.
Give me some ideas please! Thanks!
