That thing is real! It was made as kind of advertisement gag for tradeshows in the good old days when SGI was THE hot shit. (didn't they even get an Oscar for the Terminator special effects?)

Hi Adam!
Oh, only $35,450 for the CRAY CX1-iWS ;-)
With a 24 core processor architecture.
The only bad thing: Windows 7 & Windows HPC Server 2008 :-/
