Thing looks bad ass. No idea on the cost or what I'd do with it, but man.

is it a computer or some kind of external graphics system, I'm a bit confused....

Actually.... I could see Syrringe or Jason building their next rig around something like this.

yes, a graphics card the size of a lunchbox would be the next step.

Solutions like this for workstation graphics rendering are nothing new. We had a solution like this when I was at IBM for high-end rendering that was a cool $75,000. It was completely external to the system you used it on, separate power supply, cooling, etc. It wouldn't surprise me that this becomes the norm with the increased power & cooling requirements. Link this with 'Hybrid SLI' and you have a pretty power-efficient solution. Only turn it on when you need it.
