NVIDIA Tesla

Seeing these two words together is like witnessing some form of holy high-tech union. The NVIDIA Tesla line of uber-performance GPUs is a truly a delight to behold. The concept is wicked, a portable, plug-in style box featuring some serious graphics hardware, taking any regular computer and turning it into a rendering dynamo. Or any other high-res task that would normally take something like a farm or grid of machines working day and night to process.

It also comes in server-mountable and desktop-installable flavours, and while tasty, these aren't quite as delicious-sounding as the
Tesla D870 Deskside Supercomputer
Imagine some hardware hacker figures out how to mod an LCD into the side and hauls this baby over to a LAN party... bound to happen sooner or later.
