Thinking out loud - render farm

Thanks for sharing your pics, IDC. That's some pretty impressive work for what you get.

I am teaching virtualization at a local community college and, unlike most of the server administration learning that can be done these days, I still need hardware for Hyper-V and ESX. This is an interesting option - the systems on a board approach... Hmmm... Realistically, a bunch of those new AMD bobcat systems nailed to a sheet of plywood would get everyone up and running quickly... I wonder if the built in NIC on some of those systems is supported by ESX...
