First, Steve Jobs would completely scoff at the idea of the existence of Iron Man. A few months later, he would release an invitation to a "private" event suggesting: "...I know something that you don't know". At this event, he would reveal that he and he alone has created a completely new and revolutionary server farm that Iron Man uses.

After this event, Gizmodo would reveal a post that was tipped from an "Apple Insider" that exposes Iron Man's secret identity.

This is why Dell makes sense...

You can't read the brand name on them, but I don't think Apple's logo is a long rectangular out of focus shape - it'd be a lot more circular. 100% certain they're Dell displays - Dell probably provided all of the crap gratis for the sets.

Since they only have 1 U servers the density isn't as good. Dell and IBM are pretty much the way to go for HPCC and much more cost effective. Plus, you can always pull out the old hardware once newer components are available. As long as you're rich (Stark) you can have the biggest baddest cluster in the world.
