Cool, although there was a HP issue where if you didnt use their preferred 2,5 Inch drives it throttled up the fans... very annoying. Wow, what an cool setup as a PC, I'm surprised that its not unbearably loud to be honest, but I try to make all my PCs as quiet as possible haha.
Havent heard the C6100, but their notority preceeds them... Although I guess thats what you get for something with such a massive density of CPUs. It would be nice to own something like that one day haha
The HP works just fine. In idle it was very quiet. More like a whisper.
I am aiming to a bladecenter(HP or Dell). From what I see, Dell has a greater density. With quarter blades with 2 CPU/blade. That is 32 blades, 64 CPUs in total.
My ultimate goal is to get to 1000 cores. First step, then the sky is the limit.
