INTERIOR IDEA – WORKSTATION TABLE
filed in DESIGN, GREEN, TECHNOLOGY on Aug.19, 2009
The previous post tackles on where to put your worstation if you have a small space. Now here is an cool idea on your workstation table. This table certainly speaks of Matt Tovey’s geeky obsession. He has created a geeky computer desk with 434 discarded Itanium CPUs. These CPU modules were scrapped during a supercomputer upgrade, and were most probably functional before the heat sinks were taken off. Matt cited that that the list price for the lot of chips was over US $800,000 in 2006. Moreover, desk touts about 2.8 TFLOPs of computing power, which is about the same as 900 3.2GHz P4s. That’s tremendous! He used a plain desk, fixed in the CPUs and added wooden edging and a beveled glass top. Now tell your friends not to throw those old computers but instead give them to you and used it as your new workstation table neat. (via Gizomowatch)
