$15000 Computer: SiCortex intros SC072 Catapult for the rich

Have you got a spare $15,000 lying around, if so (lucky) and do you want a new desktop computer then this PC might be for you. The SC072 Catapult from SiCortex is made for people who got tons of cash and need something amazingly powerful.

The horsepower in the SC072 Catapult is out-of-this-world; the low-power deskside cabinet is whisper-quiet and sports a 72-processor cluster.

SiCortex are no stranger to producing innovative inventions as they also gave us the bicycle-powered supercomputer, the SO072 Catapult features room for six internal hard drives, a pair of gigabit Ethernet ports, 3 PCIExpress slots, 48GB of RAM and can you believe that this performance computer uses less than 200-watts of power.

The specs above just blow me away (very impressive), but I am left thinking “Who would need this amount of power?”

Each 12 SC072 node features a multi-core chip with six CPU cores, and in my opinion the $15,000 gets you a lot of hardware.
