I worked at Cray Research many moons ago and they were constructing
multiple parallel processor computers.
Doing what they did with this small computer only using massive
cooling sinks and running refrigerant through the plates. They found
the cooler you get the chips the better and faster they processed.
Of course this was when a 286 was cutting edge and 386 was coming
into prominence.
Now with systems that have quad cores, parallel processing computers
are coming to home systems.

OK that makes perfect sense. It is far less expensive than the
current crop of supercomputers which weigh in at 7+ digits of price.
using pretty much the same technology except for super cooling, I
bet it is water cooled though!!!
Neat.

It's not a gaming computer, but a small and a relatively inexpensive super
