Wow,

These guys can claim the smartest purchase of the year..

A 1024 processor/512 node Xeon Linux system costing less than two 
million Dollars and ranking number 11 in the world for supercomputers!

It also ranks number one in the world for cluster systems:

(Cool pictures of the system before and after installation).

"Naturally the common people don't want war . But after all, it is the
leaders of a country who determine policy; and it is always a simple
matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a
fascist dictatorship. All you have to do is tell them they are being
attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."
--Hermann Goering at the 1946 Nuremburg Trials
