The machine specs are, well, insane:
dual Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5690 @ 3.47GHz, total of 24 cores 12GB RAM four nvidia GTX460 with 2GB RAM each. enough harddrive space, sound, DVD, etc., etc. http://www.t3r.de/flightpics/ThomasKrenn-workstation1.jpg http://www.t3r.de/flightpics/ThomasKrenn-workstation2.jpg http://www.t3r.de/flightpics/ThomasKrenn-workstation3.jpg (how many DVI adaptors do you count? Yes, eight!) We met the nice guys of Thomas-Krenn AG at this year's LinuxTag where we were almost booth neighbours. Durk, Martin and I visited the their headquarter a few weeks ago. We received a very warm welcome and had the oppertunity to visit the entire company. If you are in the need for professional server- or workstation hardware, you might want to consider visiting http://www.thomas-krenn.com/ and support our supporters. If you were still looking for an excuse to fly into Amsterdam and visit FSWeekend, this machine definitely is one!
