"Hardcore ComputerR, Inc. Enters Server Market with Award-Winning
 Liquid-Submersion-Cooled, High Performance Liquid Blade"
 04/29/10
  http://www.hardcorecomputer.com/NewsDetail_news38.aspx

  "Taking its acclaimed, patented total liquid submersion technology to
   the server market, Hardcore Computer, Inc., announced the launch of
   Liquid Blade, the first Total Liquid Submersion blade server."

  "Hardcore's Core Coolant is 1350 times better than air at heat
   removal by volume. Not only does this help cool components better,
   Liquid Blade technology increases compute density because far less
   space is required between components with liquid cooling than air
   and much smaller chassis sizes are possible."

  http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/10125/1055589-455.stm

  "Starting next fall, the Pittsburgh area will be home to a
   groundbreaking supercomputer that could help scientists across
   the country unlock some of the mysteries of life at the molecular
   level, ultimately helping produce better drugs to treat diseases"

  "The Anton computer, made by D.E. Shaw Research in New York, is so
    powerful that the molecular dynamics simulations it can do in a day
    would take weeks or months on the most powerful supercomputers
    available today."
