I was thinking "that looks like a fucking nuclear powerplant," then I looked at the article. It's a fucking nuclear powerplant.

I suppose it could all sit on a modest server today, but even if 1/10th of all that visual is necessary I'm not sure you could get all the requisite video cards crammed into one machine.
