I have a very nice 16-core Opteron machine that I'm very happy with.
Apart from needing the PSU replaced a year or so back, it's been running
flawlessly for about 4-1/2 years, and it has a lot of stooch (150 Gflops
peak). The details a

Supermicro tower server with 2 AMD Opteron Magny-Cours 8-core
processors, 32 GB of RAM, 4x 1 TB HDDs
CentOS 6.4 Linux, with Win 7 Pro 64 bit and Win XP 32-bit in KVM virtual
machines
1 pc ACC-3C0-3C13685 Supermicro Chassis 733TQ
1 pc ACC-3C0-3C13685 SUPERMICRO H8DGI OR H8DGI-F
1 pc Adaptec 6405 RAID controller board
1 pc XFX ATI Radeon HD6670 1 GB DDR3 VGA/DVI/HDMI PCI-Express Video
Card HD667XZHF3
2 pcs CFN-OTH-AC170 2 OPTERON COOLING FAN
2 pcs AMD OPTERON 6128 8-CORE 16 TOTAL CORES
8 pcs MM3-KIN-4G133ER KINGSTON 4GB DDR3 ECC REGISTERED CL9
1.35-1.5V (32gb of ram installed)
4 pcs HDA-WDC-WD1002F WDC RE4 1TB CDW-LGE-22XSATA
1 pc GOLDSTAR DVDRW 22X GH22NS30

Since AMD has kind of stumbled since Magny Cours (Bulldozer and
Piledriver were dogs), you might want to use Intel instead, but the
Supermicro systems are tops.

The whole thing was about $3800 from a highish-class reseller, Alvio,
whom I've dealt with a few times and like very well. (Tell Aleksandr I
said 'Hi.")

Living in seclusion ;-) for quite awhile... what's the best Intel
processor for number crunching?

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
