Own a Piece of An Apple-Based Supercomputer

Graff writes "Now that Apple has come out with the Xserve G5, Virginia Tech has been swapping out parts of their 'System X' supercomputer for the more compact 1U Xserves. MacMall is selling some of those System X component G5 systems with an approximate $200 savings and an extra 512 megs of RAM over a normal G5. You can read more about it at MacCentral."

    Actually you were modded down because you were commenting on the sites normal rates and not the actual virginia computers which were on the side.
    Then you went offtopic griping about mail in rebates

    She saw the audit sticker and assumed I stole it and gave it to her. Still doesn't believe me to this day that the computer is legit

    You've got some real trust problems WRT your GF.

    Unless you've given her a real reason to make said assumption, I'd dump her ass ASAP. That's going to turn into real trouble later in your relationship.
