Whats it like to unbox a supercomputer? Surprisingly, just like unboxing a normal PC

2014-08-01 19:37:46| Extremetech

I don't know about you, but unboxing new gadgets gets me pretty excited. For me, it's knowing that soon -- very soon now, after I cut through the bubble wrap or peel back the protective plastic -- the device will burst into life for the very first time. If I'm honest, it actually makes me feel like Frankenstein breathing life into his monster for the first time -- especially when I unbox a bunch of components and build them into a new PC. What, then, must it feel like to unbox a brand new petascale supercomputer?
