Are you as jealous as I am? Geekologie shows off the unattractive looking but still irresistible Microwulf Supercomputer, a staggering technical display by Calvin College professor Joel Adams and senior Tim Brom. This mess of wires, plastic, and metal boasts 26 gigaflops for less than $2,500 in 2006, all running on one power outlet. Today, the same set up would cost $1,256 (you still need one power outlet). ClusterMonkey has a detailed overview of the computer as well as Microwulf’s official site.

Wouldn’t it be better if the airflow wasn’t blocked by the expansion cards, or do the NICs get so hot?

Yeah, he can buy a supercomputer’s parts, yet he only buys a 250 GB HDD?

I can buy supercomputer parts, if the supercomputer consists of normal computer parts, and wouldn’t buy expensive stuff for a proof of concept.
