Do they really need 1100 G5s couldn't they just settle for 1099. "Gimmie one!" :)

Actually that looks like a scene from the matrix.

in a Your Mac Life interview, the guy running the project said that it amounted to 19 tons of gear.


19 tons of Mac G5!

19 tonnes worth of computers!!
I'd be ecstatic with one G5!!!


Jimzip :D


(Actually, now that I see it. Is this the place that was delaying worldwide shipping because of the huge order? Could be another place, and I think that was 1200 computers.. But it could be it)

Could it be possible to just hack into their system and put a LWSN node on each? We now just need one server to organise our scenes!!

If you guys hack into the system and configure the nodes,.. I will do the rendering :D

You mean like "we need render boxes. many render boxes..."
and then racks with G5s come rushed in? :D

That'd be really cool...
