The system I have decided on for the high end workstation PC (Opteron) is:
Case - Lian-Li V2100
CPU - 4X Opteron 6174 Magny-Cores 12 Core
Mainboard - Tyan S8812WGM3NR
Memory - 128GB Hynix server 1333MHz
SSD - OCZ Z-Drive R4 800GB
HDD - 3TB Hitatchi Deskstar
Graphics - 6GB PNY Quadro 6000SDI
Power Supply - 1500W Enermax Modular
Cooling - 4X Noctua NH-U12 DO
The total price for this system is £16012. The four Opteron 12 core's mean there are 48 cores, despite being slower core for core and clock for clock than their Xeon counterpart, the extra cores mean it is excellent for multi-threaded applications. The massive 128GB of memory mean you could use this workstation for anything memory hungry. Another massive bonus with this machine is that it runs server memory which has error correction algorithms. With this same Quadro card as the Xeon based system, this machine has no problems with 3d visualization in software such as 3DS max. Once again it has the OCZ PCI-E ssd which gives speeds of up to 2GB/s making everything load so fast. The Noctua coolers are more than capable of keeping the 48 cores running cool and quiet.
