Dear Santa,

Have you seen the Frastra II......



But... can it play Solitare?

Seriously, this is even more powerful: Atlas Folder : Fightings Huntingtons Disease with Folding@home.
23 GTX295's! That's power! And they recently added more GPU's to the mix...

Maybe after they fix this:

"Although the system is up and running, we are still experiencing software stability issues, probably caused by an incompatibility between the video drivers and the BIOS and Linux modifications we had to use."

For some reason I'm just thinking of a used car salesman trying to sell a 1980 Lambo. "Yeah it runs, but it doesn't have any wheels & the doors fall off"

Once they get all the bugs worked out it should be pretty sweet tho.

It looks black on my screen :D

If they say green they are probably refering to it's computing per watt. 12TF for probably less then 5KW isn't to shabby.

According to this

http://fastra2.ua.ac.be/?page_id=49

it uses a Thermaltake Toughpower 1500w and 3x Thermaltake PowerExpress 450W

I notice a lot of people over estimate power requirements ...

They answer the power consumption question on their site as well.
