Please confine these topics to things that would be of general interest to those who are interested in FAH which don't fall into any other category.

Cray baby super computer

I saw they struck a deal with Intel last year and thought the dumped AMD, but they may a whole line of baby super computers check them out

Starting from $38,999... ouch!

It must have some serious cooling in it. It would take some serious work (read profitable) to justify such a purchase!

Ugly chassis though, looks a steel brick. Some neon and a funky laser logo on the side would have been better. :)

If I ever won the lottery, that'd be high on my list! I wonder how many work units/point per day it could turn out with the present client programs.
The system is cluster not a single workstation, so FAH won't run in this hardware.

In fact if you look at the YouTube "How to build a personal Cray CX1 supercomputer" video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL3dNpwvYj4&NR=1 you will see that the system ships on a pallette and is a blade chassis on a rolling frame -- the system can weigh up to 136lbs/62kg :!: (minimum weight = 62 lbs/28kg)

"Best of all" it ships with Windows 2008 HPC, not linux :roll:

Very hard to understand what it really is? It looks like proprietary blade system for dual-Xenon and GPU custom blades?
