seems kind of uninspiring, in hardware specs. 1366 socket, not 2011,
optional fast network, gpu, etc, builtin ipmi. 8x in 5U, so not really
a density play.
I guess I'm a bit skeptical about the utility of this approach -
would be nice if they had some technical literature. something about
thermal resistance. define how the oil bath dumps the heat (water
hookups in the back?) comparison to modern heatpipe-based solutions, etc.
