Tl;dr I have gone crazy and decided to build a home lab. This thread details the method in the madness.

The aim? A CPU/GPU computing lab for engineering/research/qualifications and gaming. Maybe host some servers for video games, the possibilities are endless and so is the list of things i want to do with it.

Current gear
1x Dell C6100, 4 nodes, got it for 711 UK Pesos including shipping.
8x Intel Xeon X5650 6C-12T @ 2.67GHz - 2 CPU per node
4x very loud fans
128GB of RAM - 32GB RAM per node
8x onboard Gigabit NIC's - 2 per node
4x IPMI Remote Management Ports - 1 per node
4x Mellanox Infiniband QSFP QDR 40Gbps cards - 1 card per node, 320Gbps aggregate bandwidth
4x ~400GB Seagate Drives for storage

It's late, I'm going to bed. I'll be back to add more text and pictures soon :) And there's a lot more stuff planned too.
