Niiiiiiiice
Fast forward two years and imagine what a stash of two dozen of these in a chassis would look like. Fronted by a stripped down *nix doing nothing but NFS. ZFS on the back end. Or maybe treated as a collection of bricks, two cards per brick linked together by infiniband/myrinet. Need more storage? Just add a brick. Schweeet....
'Course, SGI were doing storage bricks with high-bandwidth interconnect about five years ago but they got impaled on the Sword of Managerial Incompetence. Sad really.
