We aren't telling you it's going to be hard. We're telling you it's not possible with current technology. Simple as that.
Then why do it when you could be focusing your energies on some thing that is more practical.... like a 2012 End Of The World Fallout shelter or some thing like that.2 I know it isn't or doesn't seem practical.
oh course if you have a Ph.D in computer science, computer engineering, and a high education in hardware engineering i guess you might be able to scratch up something after burning through a ton of time and money lol
No. I did not take any offence to what you posted. What you posted there did make me remember a few conversation I had with dumb customers (and some times bosses) when they want to be to try to pull the impossible.^^^^
uhm k that confused me. did you some how take offense to what i said or was you kinda adding on?(sorry i'm confused very easily....at least i admit it...right?)
If you want a "supercomputer" this is the easiest way to do it.

Dual i7 based Xeons is plenty of power and it doesn't require you to write your own os or attempt to modify components to work in ways they weren't intended to.
IA32 and AMD64 servers, made by Cray and Unisys
Urathear, I would check out those servers and see if there are clues as to how they did it. But I agree with the other people here, it probably isn't technically feasible for us who don't have access to corporate resources.
It would be cool though. It would be like a cluster, but you could skip all those individual cases and power supplies for each board.
