That's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen

Nine G5 PowerMacs per rack. Not bad. Hopefully this project will be an incentive for Apple to release G5 Xserves sooner rather than later.

Wow, that is so cool! It looks like something out of a sci-fi movie with all those G5s stacked next to each other wired together like that. I cannot imagine what kind of performance that setup will have or how loud/hot it would get. And to think, I am all excited over just a *single* 1.25 GHz G4!

Odd that they organized the photos alphabetically by category instead of chronologically.
