How to get a Windows Compute Cluster Server for £1

I like the idea of an HPC Challenge, anything that gets the brightest of our IT student minds working together to innovatively solve some of the World’s toughest problems has got to be a good thing. The fact that the winners will cop £5,000 and the five runners up £2,000 will no doubt also help. As will the fact that teams registering for the competition will be able to acquire Microsoft Windows Compute Cluster Server (CCS) licenses for £1 per node (minimum 10 nodes) to support the development of their solutions.
