Why not beer as a coolant? I can see it now "My cluster is cooled by Guinness" "Oh yeah? Mine is cooled by London Pride!" --- Considering the stories about "Lucas Refrigeration" and "cellar temperature" beer, I'm thinking you might want a frosty cold light pilsener. Or perhaps Bass could seek another royal warrant.. "by appointment to her/his majesty provider of supercomputer coolant" (see, I actually *read* my beer bottles, although I'm not sure Bass still has a warrant in these InBev days) _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
