    Armari XCP (eXtreme Concept Prototype): Supercomputer inspired Über PC

    Watch it:

    Cray's reputation for creating the most powerful super computers on the planet is legend, now that work has inspired Dan Goldsmith at Armari to create an absolute monster - EXTREME OVERCLOCK LIQUID IMMERSION SYSTEM which can run 24x7 !
    Watch the show.

    Read it:

    A grounds-up design that aims to revolutionise high-end desktop computing
    Read more.

    Over the next couple of weeks, we will take an in-depth look at what has to be one of the most amazing systems ever created.

    This concept from Armari is a 100% bespoke design which has taken 2 years to create and it is running the very latest Skulltrail platform... completely immersed in liquid - pulled directly from an original Cray supercomputer.

    Effectively, this Armari Super-PC has the lifeblood of Cray running through its veins - and the result is simply stunning !

    Hi All,

    We will be revealing much, much more about the Armari Super-PC over the next 10-14 days...

    ...next programme is likely to go love 'next working day'*

    Promise not to leave you hanging too long !

    Andrzej


    *Which is 'tomorrow' as Dave said - kind of
    .
    .

    I kept 6 trusted serving men, they taught me all I knew.
    There names were what and where and why and how and when and who.


    (I also had the HEXUS forums on speed dial just in case )

    Interesting concept for the ultra high end. This should be really compared to a Bugatti Veyron or the Ultimate Aero TT, these cars are also of the ultra high-end. More so than the Audi R8.
