And any country that would be looking at this doesn't care about it "working" on the global network, only that they have control of their part of it. They could easily have a pass through to any host they don't black hole on their DNS if they wanted. DNS is a *voluntary* network that only works because people have agreed to use it, if a country wants to break it... well, there's nothing ICANN, or anyone else, can do to stop them. Their network may not work on the global network, but who cares if they have control right?
Really... it depends. What software are you using (starccm+? openfoam? custom + mpi?)? Planning on InfiniBand interconnect (if so QDR? FDR?... DDR I guess?)? 10GbE? What about storage for the cluster file system? Lustre? NFS? How much sustained IOPs are you expecting to need? How much RAM per Core / or overall RAM is required for your application?
Without more info it's impossible to give a good answer.

PS. Not advertising, but I do actually work for a company that sells CPU time on HPC clusters. And with what you have given... yeah, we'd be throwing that back for more info. There isn't enough to make any sort of determination. Can _guess_... but that's all it'd be is a guess.
Well, I cannot speak for anyone else, but I have actually bought multiple different anime series after downloading and liking them.
And actually on some of them, the fan subbing is a hell of a lot better than the actual subtitles on the DVD. I mean, common, if the characters say a name (in English even), then should the subtitle not reflect what was said? Or they could at least be consistent in the same conversation and keep the same name on what they are talking about.
Well, guess we can not expect a company to actually do something sane...
It depends on the student, normally, it takes about 10min or so to dig through the site, and request a new key; then you just wait on the e-mail which has it.
The MSDN-AA is, it seems, a excelent program for Education Institutions. For the CSIT department, it's cheaper than what the Colleges site license cost (just the OS), and covers far more Applications (OS [pro/server/embeded/etc], SQL server, VisualStudio, Project, Dev tools, etc...).
At the College where I work, our CS department uses the MSDN-AA agreement. Basically, students can get any MS product that we teach, and a lot not taught, at no cost.
The problem is the product keys. The student needs to get a different product key every time the OS, program, etc is re-installed. So, say they're working on a Server 2003 build, and screw it up totally when setting up an Active Directory. They need to re-log into Microsofts MSDN-AA site, request another Key, etc...
All in all it's a great Academic program for the Microsoft crowd. If I was a MS type, I'm sure I'd use it more (staff can take any MS product we have, install at home, etc...).
Just glancing at that, it seems that Red Hats RHN, would be prior-art. When the machines are registered with the network, you can have them upload information about the box; RAM, Processor, packages installed, name, etc.
IIRC, you can also create reports from the data, but I haven't looked at it in a while.

Because they want someone they can call up and say, "Product X is broke. Fix it."
That's pretty much the main reason that I've ran into. A support contract being available.

Just because I haven't noticed this yet....
