Intel's Superchilled Test Rig

Barence writes "Last week, PC Pro issued a challenge to see whose PC could render a 3D graphics benchmark in the shortest time. The competition was won by an entrant with a rather unfair advantage: Intel. The processor giant's superchilled rig is overclocked to nearly 5GHz. As PC Pro explains: 'The rig itself uses phase-change cooling: in other words it's attached to a chuffing great freezer, which I believe is the big box on the right of the photo. That yellow meter with the readout is showing the temperature of its output: yes, that's minus 40 degrees Celcius.'"

Judging from that photo, we are still in the infancy of computing. The Millenium Falcon looks like that everywhere!

So like the Millenium Falcon, "Inte'ls Superchilled Test Rig" is nigger-rigged? Shit, "jury-rigged" is the politically correct term. I guess it depends on whether you think "nigger" is a race of people or an idea that some people of any kind conform to.

Down here in the hills of Ohio, we call it "briar-wired". Of course, I don't think the Kentuckians appreciate the term too much.
