Desk made of 434 Itanium CPUs

chipdesk
The desk pictured above was created by Matt Tovey. It is made up of 434 discarded Itanium CPUs which at the time of production in 2006 were worth $800k. If the chips were to be powered up and put in computers the total computing power would be 2.8 TFLOPS which is a lot. The desk is made from a plain desk which was covered in the Itanium CPUs and then wooden edging was added as well as a glass top. What would be cool is the desk actually working and being powered up. Computers embedded in to desks could be the next big thing ;)
