"Actually it kind of reminds me of a mini Matrix. What if all teh power this thing was using came from little naked Gerbils in pods?" It never mentioned where it got all its power from.. *Becomes scared*.. :PPretty impressive, even if they are using gerbil-power.. Hmm, an upshot of having this thing, you will save a bit of money on heating :pWhat I want to know, though, is what the hell their using this for.. Surely theirs a limitation to what it can calculate, and be used.. It somewhat reminds me of the oollldd PCs, a huge room full of stuff that outputs a tiny bit of paper with a few numbers on it..As for 11TB harddrives, not that huge now adays, but it's what you store in them, really.. what's a company going to do with thousands of TBs of numbers? They dont need it :PAs for people asking how it plays HL2, chances are, it doesn't.. I don't think it'll have a very good graphics card, and I'm not sure how well it's run on Linux, and how well games would work on cluster systems anyway..And, for some strange reason, I don't think they'll be allowed to play games on it :P- Ben

notice they chose AMD processors not crappy intel. Real pros no AMD are the best and cheaper too.
