Marathon Computer <http://www.marathoncomputer.com> is making rack mountable
cases for the iMAC which can put 2 iMAC CPUs in a 1U ISO rack mount case.
This lets you put 120 iMACs and 8 16way 100baseT switches in a single rack.
You can mount an entire 266mhz PPC, 120 CPU Beowulf cluster in a single rack.
Thanx...
Doug
