    Ummm, unless it's folding I can't see a lot of purpose for that... In fact, how does that even work for anything else besides individual machines with 4 cards per system?

    Apparently the video is faked and the rig doesn't belong to that person.

    and yes the actual rig is used for folding, more info and pics here:

    Re: 23 GTX295s "in one system"

    wouldn't it just be LOADS cheaper to buy and run 23 PS3s?
    and surely they can crunch out more WUs than the GTX295s can?

    I know of people who are using multiple PS3 consoles for number crunching purposes.

    ps3's are 'ok' for folding but nothing compared to gtx295's and will use much less power per unit

    PS3s are absolutely amazing for folding :|
    and i'm pretty sure at full whack, each of those GTX295s are gonna be using around 250W of power, at least.
    i doubt a PS3 would be consuming anywhere near that much.

    A GTX 295 pushes around 14000 ppd apparently, compared to 900 on a PS3? More than 15 times as much, and you get better gaming!

    It's 4.98*

    Yeah PS3 were amazing for folding. They haven't progressed since release though, where as the PC market has moved on in leaps and bounds.

    exactly, ps3's get dicked on by almost any gpu. ps3 uses around 250 watts at full load, so comparable to the gtx295

    Meh!! I was never much into this folding malarkey TBH!!

    Rather not stress my PC all the time together with the fact it will also raise the electrical bill too!!

    I saw part of the computer farms at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridge when I went there for a tour!! There must be a lot of processing power there!!
