Has anyone worked on one of these BladeFrame?

I'm wondering how this compares to a custom-built Beowulf. 
I like how they have consolidated the networking and 
hardware in this proprietary architecture. One of the biggest 
problems in a Beowulf is keeping track of the boxes and ethernet 
connections.
