Only enterprise places can run super computers, everyone else would blow their fuse box.

I think a Supercomputer can heat up a home very fast from all the heat from the fast CPU, RAM, and graphics card, and the heat may cause problems for the supercomputer if the home does not have enough cooling to cool the supercomputer.

It could, not sure how big they are. Back in the day they took up a whole warehouse.

I think many Super computers still take up a lot of room.

Not as much as they used to, but now they fit into tall towers in quarter spaces of server rooms.

I wonder if smaller size supercomputers are more likely to overheat like some smaller size mini-PCs.
