Just think....with a computer that fast, I could post a render almost every hour....but the question is....isn't a Petaflop something nasty that my cat leaves in the cat box?

No no, "Petaflop" is when animal activists change their mind. :m_wink:

I'm not sure if I could afford it, but I'm pretty sure that system won't fit under my desk. It'd be great for those TG2 renders. Who needs backface culling with a decent computer !?!
