Oops, I was confusing that with a Rackable machine. This is a SGI
design. Looking at some of the photos and other descriptions I'm
seeing the front panel has a bunch of RJ45 ports and there is a lot
"aggregrate" numbers which doesn't really imply a memory
interconnect. I have a feeling this is just a *really* dense primitive
blade enclosure. 

I'd love to be wrong, but I'm pretty sure all the money is in
clusters, not exotic interconnects and expensive supercomputers.
