Looks like one of those custom machines at Google, Sunnyvale. When did you build it? Don't you want to try the same topology with newer components?

I don't get it, do you mean you actually have connected each of the 3 "systems" together
á la Cray/SGI style and made it into "1 machine"??

Ok... And the entire point of building such a "thing" would be?

Ask him. I didn't build it. It looks very old to me.

I don't know who you are calling "jackass", but it isn't nice to call anyone that..

Oh are we voting?

I'll give it 8/10 for its originality.

2 points lost for the out-dated hardware, though I don't know when this guy built it. If he built it way back when P3 was around, then I'd give it 10/10
