    ... a beowulf cluster of obligatory beowulf cluster comments.

    ...a new, original joke. Now imagine another one, because that last one wasn't that funny.

    In fact, maybe you just aren't that funny. Except in Soviet Russia.

    Shit, now I'm doing it.

    There was no cutting or bending involved. All metal bits were simply cut, drilled, and bolted together using 4-40 hardware.

    I prefer to not use a box. I get great heat dissipation that way. I've got my diskless nodes on a rack I bought for $3.99 at the container store that's used for drying dishes.

    You are someone who actually did imagine a beowulf cluster of those!

    Around here, that must make you a god!
