Posted by pudge on from the more-pics-wanted dept.

Mr. Slurpee writes "Virginia Tech's 1100-node dual 2 GHz Apple G5 Terascale Cluster is getting racked up and ready to roar. If you're a penniless geek like me, at least there's some tech pr0n for us to drool over. There's 1100 of them ... think they could part with one?"

    The boxes were purchased at the standard academic discount price from Apple. Not even a volume discount. It's said so in at least two of the articles I read about this story.

    But the truth usually doesn't stand very well against the 'obviously true', does it?
