hey,
just some random fun,
what kinda of server would we get we if we got all the computers from all the members of MR and put them in a server farm?
would it be any good?
what kinda of capacity could it handle?

just some fun
cheers

We probably could take on Blizzard as the main WoW host

[/although not a big fan]

I would not be surprised with a server farm, for power and service it would be mediocre, but not bad. Probably all the computers on Macrumors in a Beowulf cluster could be be more impressive.

• we could make a really really nice folding server
• or a nice place to store all of our downloads and share them
• or play some sort of INSANE simulation that has 1000 30inch monitors joined together

What does that even mean in this context?

You don't just have "a farm" and magically everything just works together super duper fast.

haha of course not.. but i think he means how much computing power would it have (TFLOPS).

internet speed would be the bottleneck here im guessing
