Description I redid my other PPC CPU frame. White on black is much more readable. I also swapped out most of the CPU cards in favor of the naked processors. Only down side is the POWER6+ CPU I had broke when I removed the cap. What is it with IBM and alternating between thermal grease and thermal cement in the same MCM?

In Cell's description I see an extra 'd' (coprocessord).

Nice tableau of Powers! I have a few of them myself. The "bluray" 601 and 603 are beautiful beasts!

I feel bad for the Power5 but I know how hard is to remove the heatsink from those modules. Actually, I just couldn't, that's why I didn't keep it in the end

Very slick presentation. I think the bare processor presentation looks much cleaner. My only note of 'critique' would be that it looks like a space got dropped in formatting for the description of the Espresso chip.

Indeed, i was stuck at home with vision problems when I worked on this project. Looks like I missed a few type-os...

That's ok. It looks awesome anyways, even with a few type-os.
