    As for Apple we seem to have a big Mac Mini.

    Nonsense!

    Home-built cluster can be cheap and very educational.

    Perhaps as a hobby. But generally they aren't cost effective if you're paying the labor for someone to implement it with 5-year old hardware in a cluster-fuck (pun intended) , jam it in a rack haphazard arrangement and there isn't even a clear need or requirement for it.

  5. Caseless Example: Ikea Cabinet Cluster by cmholm · · Score: 1 · on Ask Slashdot: Clusters On the Cheap?

    An near-example of what Max is talking about can be found at the Home Linux Render Cluster. The builder threw six dual cpu motherboards into a small, gutted filing cabinet and Gig-e. Cheap, expandable.

    However, if your friend hasn't got a very good idea how much mmmph she needs, the AWS EC2 rental idea has merit.

    Zomg. Twice as fast as Helmer and probably twice as expensive.

    except I actually benefit from my toy whenever I do video processing or launch a few dozen VM's for application testing and network simulation.

    It's amazing what you can do with a few of these (a hundred bucks at fry's) and some these, a few of these and some creative sheet metal work on one of these.

    You'll need a few other bits too. If you get carried away it would look something like this. If you keep your wits nobody would know it from a typical filing cabinet except that instead of storing files it renders frames with 32 cores running at 2.6GHz or launches your precious VMs.

    And you can still remote to it with your mini notebook from the beach.

  13. 24 core IKEA-cabinet setup? by plaz_swe · · Score: 1 · on Supercomputer Built With 8 GPUs

    Sure, this machine is for floating point calculations. But for general-purpose computing, I think one of these setups would be more efficient: "24-core Linux cluster in IKEA cabinet" http://helmer.sfe.se/
