The FAIT Cube

The FAIT Cube is a massive paralell-processing computational array consisting of
4,096 8-Mhz AT motherboards whose data buses are connected together in a cubic matrix. The Cube is claimed to
operate somewhere in the 40k Mips range, although it can't perform floating-point calculations without assistance
from the 287 Cube, its companion math-coprocessor array, contained in a refrigerator-sized cabinet situated
next to the main Cube array. Housed in an adjacent chamber, the power supplies for all these devices are used to
heat the water for FAIT's entire facility. The Power Supply
room, strategically located directly below FAIT's sauna, vents all excess heat
directly upward through its specially-designed ceiling grid, both providing a much-valued theraputic resource as
well as fitting in nicely with FAIT's zero-tolerance energy waste philosophy.
