It looks sad - sad that it's been abandoned and is no longer useful. Makes me sad that it can't realize how it's inspiring others - such as you, Motts

I used to live up on the Mesabi Iron Range in MN. Most of the old stuff has been torn down and salvaged, but there were still some old creepy things around in the 70's. (I am old). HUGE creepy things. They still have a few "museums" and observation areas to look out over the open pit mines. Most memorable are the giant shovels and tires for the giant machinery, and the giant trucks. I mean BIG.

@StL Girl:
It is frequently used by "overclockers", a subset of the enthusiast community that enjoy using technological methods to extract higher level of performance from hardware (through increase in clock generator frequencies) than would normally be provided by said hardware. Initially, it was in the name of saving money - such as the 300 MHz Celeron A processor, which could be run at 450 MHz by simply changing its front side bus frequency from 66 to 100 MHz, and required no special cooling at all.
Most "overclocks" are not nearly so simple in modern hardware. In fact, many of the said group spend more money on exotic cooling technologies than they would have spent had they bought a faster (and more stable) processor to begin with. I have seen multi-hundred dollar water cooling rigs to run a $260 Core i7 2666MHz processor at 3400 or so MHz, when you could have had the true 3400 i7 for about $700 to start with.

Water-cooled computer CPU? Do those still exist?? Large-scale stuff, maybe?
