Our 288-nodes Dell cluster has been delivered in fully populated and pre-cabled racks. All the racking and internal cabling was done at the Merge Center [1]. The only "boxes" we received were 11 wooden crates, from which we extracted the racks, ready to be interconnected (this had to be done on site, obviously, and Dell sent in a team to do the IB cabling and finalize the installation). Purdue's "the day we rack" is brilliant PR, though. Cheers, -- Kilian [1]http://www.dell.com/content/topics/global.aspx/services/adi/dps_hpcc?c=us&cs=555&l=en&s=biz
