This looks great for building an Octane render node:

Like us they us, they are big on luajit as a wrapper around GPGPU
In any case, yes, this would make for an awesome ORC node.

Cool, but..it would be like buying truck for driving around the city, by that I mean:
* it's big,
* it's loud,
* it's expensive,
&..it's meant for different purpuse..
so in the end, You can build faster system for OctaneRedner for fracture of money.
Cheers.

Small Fans = Very loud.
I would rather build two rigs. Network rendering with Octane V2 works pretty well.
