The Virginia Tech Supercomputer was finally announced as the world's 3rd fastest on the Top 500 List.

Besides some fancy cisco equipment, this supercomputer is just a cluster of 1100 Powermac G5's. Amazingly enough, they're running OSX on the mnachines, too! They said they were going to upgrade to Panther, but I'm not sure if they were able to do so yet -- pretty amazing stuff.
