Which processors are you going to get in it? All you put was 3.3ghtz.

The only reason I ask is that you would be better off getting CPUs with more cores, even if they are slower.

Core speed typically has a smaller impact on render times than the number of cores does. Fast and lots of cores is even better, but also very expensive.

Just so you know:

Hp wants $2700.00 for a E5-2665 8 Core 2.40GHz 20MB cache processor.

Newegg will sell you a Intel Xeon E5-2680 8 Core 2.7GHz 20MB Cache for $1800.00

Makes sense to me, less costs more from HP.

I personally would build one before I would buy one already put together.

I just built a system for someone that used these. Yes it was not cheap to build, but far cheaper than buying it assembled.

And yes it screams. 32 threads for 64 bit programs to crunch with.

Motherboard link: (130 watt max per processor, daul socket LGA 2011) that fits in a 30 dollar (ATX) case instead of a 600 dollar rack mount one you don't need. The case does not make it any faster, it just makes you more broke.
