The company I work for builds machines like that for film post production. I’ve been writing software for one with 8 Titan Xp GPUs, and with its disks arrays and GPU expansion chassis its about the size of an Onyx, and draws considerably more power :-)
Unfortunately I wouldn’t say it feels like the future, more like a normal CentOS Linux desktop.
You’ll struggle to get a PC whose BIOS can handle much more than that too.
We used to build clusters for the same thing in the past, but that was largely standard supercomputing stuff but very similar to how the InfiniteReality machines were used. I believe our software once ran on Onyx machines in the dim & distant past.
So in short I wouldn’t say having loads of GPUs is enough to make it feel futuristic.
