Core i7 is obsolete for personal use

Does it come in red?

Still require a CPU...

Oh interesting I didn't know the Tesla was GPGPU

Love it -
$308 for a 1TB 7,200 SATA drive
$51 for a USB floppy (included by default)

Yeah, these still have a traditional CPU in there to push the GPGPU. And you're seriously out of luck if your specific program isn't written for CUDA and multithreaded all to hell (massively parallel computing doesn't handle single-threaded apps so well).

Why purchase Tesla products if it's for personal use? I even know professors who bought the 8800gtx for research purposes. Saves a lot of money to just buy mainstream gaming hardware like that GPU supercomputer FASTRA. Think I saw a picture of a x58 motherboard with 6 PCIe slots somewhere so it'd be interesting to see someone try going that route.
