I have a secret dream of having a secure "big data in a box" solution based on Linux / GPUs (likely nVidia) and lots of storage (like 8 6TB drives in Raid z2).

I have a secret dream of having a secure "big data in a box" solution based on Linux / GPUs (likely nVidia) and lots of storage (like 8 6TB drives in Raid z2). This processor and motherboard would be fine if it had more IO (4-6 16x slots) and onboard 10Gbe. Right now seems like this is still a pipe dream.
