Here it is! (http://www.hardocp.com/news.html?news=Mjc2NjEsLCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdCwsLDE=)

Itanium processors used as "furniture". Sort of...

But still.. almost seems a waste of all that processing power.

Well, it is Itanium...

But still. I think it would have been cooler to create a motherboard and an OS for support for all those suckers. Imagine all those processors running a server of sorts...

I'm still working on thinking of something to use that old mobo of mine for... but then again, I think I was gonna cut it into six square pieces of the same size and make a cube out of it and hang it from something or set it up as a small statue thing or something... I dunno, I'll figure something out.

Like a mini borg cube? :D

I was thinking cluster with all those procs.. could still do some decent crunching I bet.

Yes, like a mini Borg Cube. I would find it hilarious in its own way, lol.

I've never been more jealous of a desk than I am right now.

You could probably hugely underclock (for cooling) all of those and somehow have tiny tiny motherboards, then put them in a cluster. IT would be sweet.


but that's not very economical or anything.
