Need advice on a new rig

yep i recently specced up a little personal renderfarm.

1x tower case with 4x miniitx boards, each with a nice i7 2600k, 2x 8gb ram sticks, a nice fast 64 gb ssd, and a nautilus watercooler. one 1.2kw 95% eff psu to power all 4 with power to spare - 5 boards should be doable too with the same case and psu.

total price for the parts came in around the £3000 mark, including vat, for 16 cores and 32 threads. with those coolers you could also dabble in some overclocking too..

of course youd need 4 copies of windows too though

for 3000£ U can have 2x Xeon(on 1 motherboard dual xeon quad/octo) OC to 4/4.5 GHZ + 48 gb ram and much more… In my opinion u wasted a little bit money there :s

edit: I read u had 16 cores so argh ! U actually saved a lot money hehe nice config ! What mobo u used?
