24 core cluster? Huge renders in minutes? No Problem. :)
Just found this whilst browsing, this is one seriously cool way of creating a powerful machine on a budget

I wonder how much you'd pay for this kinda thing as a complete machine...

That is sweet. I'd heard about clustering PCs and thought it might be a good idea to get a few crappy ones and make a demi decent end product, but this is awesome.
Does he have graphics cards in there. I guess not as he just needs raw processing power.

It's a Class 1 Linux cluster; possibly Beowulf and yes it can be used for F@H

Could this idea be used to render films and other big things.

Mhm. If you have ever done any 3D rendering with complex lighting, you will know that it take a long time to do a single frame at a semi-decent resolution/quality. If you want tens of thousands of frames and movie level quality, you pretty much have to use a render farm.

I don't suppose anyone has a clue on how to set something like this up? I think it would be a cool project just to get like 4 sets, perhaps cheap components, like some cheap AMD dualies... just for 'poops and giggles'. A competition for who can build and house the coolest looking one would be awesome I must say... Although I doubt many people would partake.
