Thinking about doing a summer 2016 Cruncher Build

[IceZaroth]

I'm stumped on what to buy to give my setup the maximum bang for the buck so to speak.

Also doing a single CPU or 4x CPU

Reason I'm thinking 4x CPU is massive potential for crunching plus i've been Eyeing up this picture with his 4 cpu's but going full water cooling with hydro copper GPU's, but I keep looking at this picture and imagine doing away with them big butt heatsinks and fan in favor of a nice 4 cpu water blocked version on a 3 or 4 pot Radiator would and could look breathtaking not just for the raw number crunching power but also for aesthetics.

Maybe i'm just going crazy in my old life lol.

Multi CPU = Xeons , the only way to roll

I'm thinking about a quad cpu machine also. Early days for me yet as I will have to save up. I will not be getting a Christmas bonus this year - not with the state of the oil and gas industry at the moment.

Think thats bad, I've been made redundant so I know what you mean by oil & gas

What processor and chipset are you considering on that quad cpu system?
