<pre wrap="">Looking at the CAD drawings - is there any reason why the nodes are built into circular columns, rather than traditional cuboid boxes?
If anything such a design does not make full use of the physical space available.
And if you did pack the columns as drawn (with vertical water pipes in the gaps) - how do you service the nodes to replace failed components, water leaks et al. ?
And also (I do work for an interconnect company after all) how would all this get wired up together as a cluster?

Sadly it looks like that's based on the single precision
numbers for graphics cards, rather than double..
