    Calling it a "Super Computer" is a bit of a stretch... the researchers call it a "Super PC" which it surly is. And at 4,000 Euros, it basically costs nothing compared to the typical prices for this application. Of course, that's probably just for parts. You've got to have a cluster of brainiacs to put the thing together, and they probably didn't count their beans according to generally acceptable accounting standards. That would be forgivable... they aren't bean-counters.

    Quit an accomplishment!
