HIVE

Anyone familiar with Abertay University will know (or should know) about the HIVE. It stands for Haptic (Human) Interactive Virtual Environment and consists of two rather large screens with 4 rear projectors to allow us (students and staff) to view content in stereo.

I have taken it upon myself (honestly...lack of volunteers) to help rebuild the computer that runs the HIVE in my limited and precious free time.

In case you are interested, the guts of the computer can be found below

Motherboard: ASUS P6T7 WS SuperComputer
CPU: Intel i7 Extreme Edition
RAM: 12GB corsair DDR3
Graphics cards: 2 x EVGA 295 GTX (quad SLI) and one EVGA 8800GTX for CUDA computing and physx processing
Hard Drives: 2 x 1.2 Terrabyte Western Digital 7200rpm drives. 1 x 320GB Seagate barracuda

I look forward to posting some benchmark scores from 3DMark06, 3DMarkVantage and SisSandra, keep your eyes peeled.
