Armari's supercomputer-in-a-box seeks to reinvigorate industry

[directhex]

Its a shame their using Flurocarbons, their not exactly environmantally friendly.

And its hardly original or inventive, its a copy of the old cray, and we did it in 2005.

VeryPC have since produced prototypes using environmentally firendly biodegrable liquids and will be coming out with a supercomputer grid in a box in the near future...

We call it Iceotope.

plenty of people already have liquid cooled cluster products on the market, from the SGI Altix ICE onwards. you're right that cray did it first on the full-immersion front - but i think a company with a t3d cluttering up the place probably knows that

wasn't that the point, listen to the commentry on .tv

Built a Cray clone, we've all done that right ?
I built mine in 2004, sorry

googled.. and now quoting the article you mentioned

"Initial prototypes used motor oil until they realised this could corrode some of the components."

"Why switch?Suresh Garimella, an expert on electronics cooling at Purdue University in the US is not convinced. Although oil cooling is an established method for cooling electrical components, like transformers, he says a specialised dielectric cooling liquid, such as Fluorinert, has a tried–and-tested record and would be the fluid of choice.
