[Beowulf] 96 cores in silent and small enclosure

[Jonathan Aquilina]

sry for another post but i just got an idea. im not sure if you have seen
that you tube video of a guy who put his whole setup in a fish tank and was
using cooking oil i believe to cool everything. would be interesting to see
the 2nd cluster put into a big enough tank and cooled with oil.
