Cray's First Windows-Based Supercomputer Puts a 64-Core Datacenter On Your Desk [Cray Cx1]
Gizmodo — ... You almost missed it there right next to the desk, didn't you? When it's not badly photoshopped in a Cray brochure, the CX1 packs 16 Intel Xeon procs, either dual- or quad-core (you choose), with 8 supercomputing nodes that can accomodate 64GB of memory per node. Internal storage tops out at 4TB. You can custom-configure and purchase one today, on ranges from $25,000 to $6000. ...

Cray’s CX1: a supercomputer for your desktop
CrunchGear — ... , there’s no way of saying how big this thing is. I’m guessing somewhat bigger than a microwave, but I could be wrong and it could be as tall as Cleopatra’s needle. The CX1 has a bunch of “nodes” that you can customize with CPUs, hard drives and so on, and actually runs on Windows. You can create your own for as little as ten grand or so, although you’ll want to trick it out a bit (and you have to be using IE). I like that you can get a “deskside rolling tray” for $520. I’ll tell you what, you give me $300 and I’ll ...

Hands On Cray CX1 Windows Supercomputer: One Day, It'll Make Crysis Cry [Supercomputers]
Gizmodo — ... to eight computing blades—though the storage and visual blade each take up two slots, so the model they were showing had four computing blades, and one of each. While each blade is highly customizable, the cheapest one they had configured was about $4,000, and a fully spec'd out CX1 goes for about $85,000 (slightly higher than they originally announced). While it's not actually designed for gaming at all, for that much I'd want it to burn Crysis directly into my brain. [Cray] ...
