The Hydra 8 is a custom made 6.5U case for 10 GPU accelerated 3D modeling/rendering nodes and intense AI deep learning servers. You are able to iterate more often before finishing a project (i.e Octane, Redshift, V-RAY RT or Cinema 4Ds) and respond in real time to changes (i.e. risk modeling, financial learning or scientific computing) using massive number of GPUs. The rear railings where the GPUs mount can be switched from 10 dual slot to 8 triple slot for wider spacing when only using 8 GPUs. This computer case supports ten full-length graphics cards, one ATX/Micro-ATX motherboard, and three power supplies for better power distribution. Extra tall 6.5U height elevates the graphics cards above the motherboard and power supplies, helping you keep the cables organized underneath and out of critical airflow paths. Thick industrial quality steel offers outstanding strength and durability to hold all your cards without flexing for safer storage and transport. Extended distance from GPU to MB requires the use of PCI-E risers.

This is the best enclosure type for HPC workstations/servers that generate a ton of heat. Closed cabinet provides critical active airflow management (front-to-back) to prevent hot exhaust air from circulating back into the equipment air intake.
