Nice. Yeah, I'm jealous. :(

Hey Karlo, your production values on a mod vid for YouTube are so high..
I can only begin to imagine how much goes into your client work...

How many watts?.. 1600W?

Maybe the full specs of beast?..

Dont be jealous :lol:

Well, we are working hard to complite all challanges on our path with good video or rendering presentations for our clients or company promotion.

I was thinking about the project name and as common is BEAST i rather prefre SNAKE ;)

2 x 1250W PSU = 2500W

1 PSU only for graphic cards and the other one for other parts.

Spec; extreme V mobo, i7 ivy bridge, 32 gb ram, 4 x gtx 690, ssd 250 gb.

OS; win7 x64

Nice machine for rendering, you could overclock the GPU a bit as you're under water.
Ouch 2500W ! otherwise, the PC is clean and great.

2 Gordonrobb: you will need around 10k eur if you are assambling alone. If you hire someone to do it for you... that will be few K eurs more..

2 itou31: i need stable system wich will render 24/7 10 days for some animations...day up or down with overclocking means nothing to me ;)

Karlo, I'm just curious. If You put such money for this system, why You've chosen 690 instead of Titans? I see no logic here, unless..You bought before Titans were released.. =) but maybe You have other reasons /that's why I'm askin' =)

anyway, nice video! entertaining to say at least. update us with some animations cooked with this beasty SNAKE =)

cheers

Hello,

im not working with scenes wich needs mulit GB RAM... i need core mhz speed and big amount of cores to finish rendering asap...

Well if it was speed you need, 4 Titans would have been faster. But great setup.

You do know the fact that 690 is almost the same in speed as Titan? =) still I don't get why to put the same money in something that has 'limited' usability - lifespan of Your system is basically shorter /what if..You step on higher resolutions, bigger textures, more complex models.. - 3x vRAM, when You don't have to pay any extra..seems a big miss to me =)

but, It's Your decision here =) so it doesn't matter as long as You happy with it I'm just trying to understand =) maybe I have missed smth here, that's all.

cheers
