So lets say you had hundreds of discarded CPUs from a large cluster processor upgrade. What would you do with the discarded CPUs? Matt Tovey’s answer when presented with this opportunity was to cover a desk with the processors. I must say that it looks quite nice, the desk is covered with roughly 500 Itanium processors, a NUMAlink SHUB chip from an Altix 4700 blade, and a MIPS R10K CPU. Some of the Itanium chips lost their metal covers making them also stand out on the desk. Since 500 CPUs weighs a little over 66 pounds, he had to further reinforce his desk so it didn’t collapse under the additional weight. Geeky, but very nice! |

I collected bottle caps for a long time planning to do something similar. But I’m lazy. Then I stopped drinking pop. And we only buy beer if we’re cooking with it. So now I just have a can of bottle caps taking up space.
