Re: Nasa's new computer is bigger than yours..

Hope that puppy has a decent gfx card.

Will be one of those massive water cooled bad boys and they probably got whales instead of fish in the tower.. lol..

And what they want that for ? No doubt it is more illegal than any of the stuff everyone else does.. And do you think their isp will be chinning then for downloading albums etc ? lol..

That bad boy will be getting used to crack passwords etc.

From the OP's link:

The computer will also be water-cooled and run Suse Linux.
NASA plans to use this unit to help with jobs related to future manned missions to the moon and for aeronautics and science research.
It's NASA, not NSA...
