They aren't that rare and such a system can offer about an order of magnitude more mass than our own. A hypernode made from such a star, while likely taking thousands of years to construct, could house an entire S5 by itself.
Why thousands of years? I would have thought that the "mechanical" construction of computational assets would be quite a lot quicker than that, assuming an exponential growth in the numbers of constructors. Loading it with data and personality probably wouldn't be so fast, of course.
