"A Quadro Plex D series VCS can turn workstations and servers into
visual supercomputers. Easily connected to a host workstation via a
low-power PCI Express adapter card, the Quadro Plex VCS gives workstations
the massively parallel processing capabilities of multiple Quadro graphics
cards and features an ultra-quiet design, allowing the system to be
deployed deskside."

It's simply a MASSIVE external graphics card, with A LOT (8gb) of memory]]>Aug 12th 2008 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-releases-new-quadro-plex-d-cuda-desktop-rigs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-releases-new-quadro-plex-d-cuda-desktop-rigs/Aug 12th 2008 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-releases-new-quadro-plex-d-cuda-desktop-rigs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-releases-new-quadro-plex-d-cuda-desktop-rigs/Aug 12th 2008 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-releases-new-quadro-plex-d-cuda-desktop-rigs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-releases-new-quadro-plex-d-cuda-desktop-rigs/

Not one mention of how many TFLOP this thing pushes. My guess is 3-4 max and that can be done in a desktop for 1/5th the price.]]>Aug 12th 2008 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-releases-new-quadro-plex-d-cuda-desktop-rigs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-releases-new-quadro-plex-d-cuda-desktop-rigs/Aug 12th 2008 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-releases-new-quadro-plex-d-cuda-desktop-rigs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-releases-new-quadro-plex-d-cuda-desktop-rigs/Aug 12th 2008 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-releases-new-quadro-plex-d-cuda-desktop-rigs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-releases-new-quadro-plex-d-cuda-desktop-rigs/Aug 12th 2008 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-releases-new-quadro-plex-d-cuda-desktop-rigs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-releases-new-quadro-plex-d-cuda-desktop-rigs/Aug 12th 2008 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-releases-new-quadro-plex-d-cuda-desktop-rigs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-releases-new-quadro-plex-d-cuda-desktop-rigs/Aug 12th 2008 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-releases-new-quadro-plex-d-cuda-desktop-rigs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-releases-new-quadro-plex-d-cuda-desktop-rigs/
FYI: Myspace, Facebook, and all forms of social networking sites are the worse thing to happen to possibility of improving human interactions.

If you were going to Render, wouldn't you just build a "Helmer" cluster for 1/2 the price???

and there are a lot of things you could do for 1/2 the price. really unless a company buys this and installs it on their server for everyone to use (not a bad idea actually and then the cost would be justifiable, plus it would make upgrading/maintenance easier). i kno my work just droppeg huge cash on a friend of mine in my department at work that does almost all of the model. 3.0Ghz Xeon, 8GB DDR3 RAM and a FireGL V7700 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814195063). I know there are at least 10 guys in the company with comparable cards to him, of the ~30 who do modeling. $10k to ensure that anyone connected to the network could at least do some basic modeling if need be isnt that bad from a company perspective. as far as one of these for a single person, thats a little excessive.]]>Aug 12th 2008 9:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-releases-new-quadro-plex-d-cuda-desktop-rigs/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/nvidia-releases-new-quadro-plex-d-cuda-desktop-rigs/Aug 12th 2008 5:52PM
