I think I just sprung something...
 

I see a new gaming PC in my post-lottery winning future...

Personal computer. Personal cluster. Call it what you will. Orion Multisystems is pretty sure it has the fastest PC around no matter the moniker.

Last week, Orion started shipping its long awaited 96-processor (Transmeta Tinside) deskside cluster. This box is the follow-on to a 12-processor desktop system that has been on the market for several months. With the new, larger system, customers get pretty much the most powerful computer around that can plug into a standard electrical socket.

9 terabytes of disk space is a lotta Half-Life mods.

Dammit! I just upgraded, and NOW this comes out.
