The data centre bears more than just a passing resemblance to the innards of the Death Star, the Emperor's battle star in the Star Wars films.
The racks are suitably black, forbidding and each blade in the rack is labelled Death Star.
"All of our render farms are named Death Stars - we have also silk screened the Imperial logo on all of the nodes, regardless of the vendor that provides them," explains Mr Hricak.

"Let your love flow outward through the universe,
To its height, its depth, its broad extent,
A limitless love, without hatred or enmity."
