You just need one of these boards and then 4 x AMD 16-core Opterons...:p

Dude! That is crazy CPU power. :D Although, I wonder what the electric for the CPUs alone runs on that rig, haha! :))

Apparently there are a lot of folding@home peeps who have them. I'm going off of memory, but I think I read it would be about a $4000 rig that pulls around 700 Watts at the wall for a 4p 6272.

Here's the thread.

There is also this one on newegg:

I think you would still do better CPU crunching with a dual SB xeon machine.

Edit: Also, not sure what case would fit this. Even if it was big enough (haf x), not sure it would have the right mounting holes.
