My new PC specs....will arrive Mon or Tues.
I ordered this to utilize my new Steinbichler scanner, Very new version of 64-bit exocad (week old),and Tesla K20 GPU and Quadro K5000 Graphics cards.
The Steinbichler software for meshing the data points uses the GPU, just like AutoCAD would. Exocad also is now written to use the GPU mainly! PERFECT Combo!
The Steinbichler requires a motherboard that has
room for a PCI card with Texas Instruments Chip-set on it to run the Firewire to the Industrial, Point Grey Research "Flea" Camera for fastest data transfer. (Expensive camera IMO) It has a USB for controling the rotary tables and connecting to the scanner, but camera uses a weird ass system that is very picky about firewire connections.
You pretty much need a WorkStation class motherboard and Xeon processor(s) to use the scanner. No Alienware or anything else will work. I have Ten computers around me, and nothing would work!! LOL
The Motherboard has a very new style PCIx slot that is Gen 3.0
Actually, many of them. The latest Graphics Cards are able to work with "regular" PCI express 2.0, but they really ROCK with Motherboards that have the newest 3.0 architecture. (I think for now, only Workstation class?)
I got Four SSDs in RAID 10 config. This means that Two are striped (2x the speed as single) and Two are striped-mirrors (For redundency and safty) 1080Mb/sec performance.
Anyway....here is the build, minus the K20 and K5000 nVidia cards, that were around $4500 or so?
(The upper 2x PCI-E x16 Gen 3 slots are enabled only if you use 2 CPUs. This gives you the ability to install video card and GPU one far from the other for better cooling
2- With 2 CPUs the unit comes with a kit to improve airflow for RAMs. CPUs and PCI slots
3- Gives you the possibility to install the H310 controller. Amazing card! )
