Okay. For the non-dutch speaking people here here's the translation of the dutch site: RenderCube: 8 CPU's in a box. By Renvan den Berg - saturday 21 april 2001 - 15:20 - Information source: RenderCube RenderCube is the name of a really striking computer. Build out of standard components, this little monster in a case of 42x42 cm and a hight of just 48 cm, has eight Pentium III Processors working together intensively. The RenderCube is build out of four dual-processor motherboards wich communicate with each other via a build-in 100MBit Network-switch. The system is run by an also build-in KVM (whatever that is) wich allows you to use the system using only one keyboard, one mouse and one monitor. At the moment the boards used are Abit VP6 and Tyan Tiger 200, but since the RenderCube is custom build this can change. As it's name implies the RenderCube is meant for using aniumation-software, but the system can also be used for Beowulf-like tasks and with a bit of luck you'll have plenty of processortime left. In a compact cube-shaped aluminum case, we packed four dual ATX-style PIII motherboards, four 300 Watt power supplies, four hard drives, a 100Mbps switch, a CD-ROM Drive and a 4 port KVM switch. Capable of holding eight, 1.0 GHz processors and 4 Gbytes of memory, this cube can tackle your toughest rendering requirements. The RenderCube is adaptable to any animation software that supports network rendering. And since its a miniature "Cluster" computer, you could use it for a variety of other applications that require parallel processing. Its so compact we've also nicknamed it a "Personal Parallel Processing Platform".
