It's far from the first supercomputer created with the help of some 
gaming hardware, but this rig built by a group of researchers from the 
University of Antwerp is certainly impressive enough in its own right, 
with it employing four of NVIDIA's high-end GeForce 9800 GX2 graphics 
cards (which combined pack eight GPUs) to help develop new computational 
methods for tomography. Dubbed the FASTRA, the system also packs an AMD 
Phenom 9850 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 750GB hard drive, all of which is 
powered by a 1,500W power supply (and tastefully lit up with some blue 
LEDs). That apparently lets 'em do calculations that previously took an 
hour in just a few seconds, not to mention finally get a decent frame 
rate in Crysis.
