not quite sure how this thing works as i'm not the computer genius in my family (cough my brother) but when i went to florida on vacation a little bit ago my dad was working for a conference interviewing people from Dell and stuff. at the hotel, they had this training session for people from Dell and all that jazz. It was some 3 day training session and they had this huge thing that they were running, like, 50 laptops on.

in all there were 7 of those box things in a row (the 2 in pic 2 are behind the pillar in pic 1). that backpack and coke is mine, if anyone's curious. the second picture is a bit blurry and i'm being lazy so you will not be getting a less blurry version. the specs on it:

yeah don't ask about the 'awesomesauce' thing, people at dell are pretty weird. however, i thought this was pretty cool. i mean, 40TB memory and 1.5TB RAM?

That is a super computer, my friend. It would be fun to play Blockland on that.

i asked my brother what it would be like to host a blockland server off of that
we concluded that if the engine could handle it you could get like millions of bricks
