Mach 3.8 Supercomputer

I'm suspicious of high-end desktop cooling systems. Does anyone have any experience, good or bad?

 

bungrider,

I wonder about you. You called yourself a newbie in programming a few days ago and right here you are giving your thoughts about "supercomputers"!

Funny at best.

nononsense

 

Maybe, but Linux doesn't run on the SGI Origin 3900.
If you want Linux you have to choose the SGI Altix 3000 server. Linux is still not in the same league as the professional Unixes.

 

LOL.

OK, if you say so. I don't think you know what you are talking about, and I don't have the time or the energy to go into i t.

nitro

 

Perfect system for single lot pikers

 

Yeah, and Its a real problem when these things spring a leak, plus its a big inconvenience when the liquid helium truck stops by .... all that frost and fog means we have to stop trading for a while .....

 

LOL

nitro

 

I think they're using liquid Nitrogen; it's cheaper

 

Guess its not a real supercomputer then if they can get by at those temperatures ......

 

ah nononsense, you always get right down to it. (thanks, btw, for your insight on my C/C++ thread).

i am a newbie programmer, but a long time computer nerd.

be good,
