Hmm, this reminds me that quite some time ago I compiled and utilized a piece of software called "Hyperbole". However, as I didn't like it at all, I surely removed it from my box almost immediately...

dude, you are ruining my thread!

Did I? Why? Anyway, no regrets here

Cyclone was a Colorbus trademark though, it just utilized SGI hardware.

I know exactly the thing ... one of those weirdass gaming boxes that looks like a toilet with fart vents. Alien ? Predator ? Some testosterone-fueled pubescent name like that. Red, too.

Or would that be too creative for Rackable ?

They might have some creativity but just not the budget to do anything with it. Off the shelf stuff that's made in quantity is noticeably cheaper than a custom job.

I remember seeing a commentary on Apple advertising to the effect that they had mastered the art of telling people to demonstrate their individuality by purchasing a mass-produced object.
