Crysis Demo

There's a University about an hour's train journey away that specialises in Computer Animation, and Computer Games Design and what not. They've got a massive budget, and replace all their hardware yearly.

Recently, they bought a few hundred computers with the old eight core processor, eight gig of RAM, stupidly good graphics card setup. They also bought a lot of new servers, which they've networked, and put in a locked room. These servers have extremely fast processors, more RAM than you can shake a stick at, and terabyte upon terabyte of storage. And they use them simply for rendering.

If that's what they use to simply render students work, then the fella's who made Crysis must be using a supercomputer or three!
