I don't think it's secret, and I'm pretty sure that they have mentioned before that the kit is located at Telehouse in Docklands. I only remember this because a lot of my company's servers are there too.
Edit:
Oh, and I think we can look forward to some pretty heavy stress-testing when the hardware goes live - an awful lot of people have held back a bit on their pvping activities due to the lag.

I feel sorry for the first poor sap to complain about losing a ship to lag after the upgrade is running properly and posts his annoyance on the forums, boy will they get torn apart

CCP = win.
Someone posted about talk being cheap, and it may well be...but CCP have put their money where their mouth is, and half a ton of new equipment must've set them back quite a bit, so I highly doubt that it's hype at all.
Bring on the new server cluster! WOOT!

what does this mean as far as the status of the patch that was planned early in the year to introduce the new bloodlines and fix some of the more obvious bugs left from RMR?
I love my absolution but losing ~40% dps because the RoF bonus is being applied in reverse is something that would be nice to see fixed.

Will new players be able to log on an test the new hardware when it goes up? From what I read somewhere the database for characters on singularity are usually from an older dataset, or at least the most current one for singularity is.

Been away for the last 4 months and the changes took me better part of a week to get used to.
Going away for another 3 months, thinking that it will be a whole bigger brighter shinier eve when i get back.

Half a ton of hardware!?! Fantastic! Which customs port is it coming through? I have lots of friends in Customs and Excise, want me to have a word?

Nice. On the subject. I was looking over some of the older posts. It seems to me that some of this problem comes from BM's being copied. Again it's the same old. bm's vs anti bm's argument. I heard that Sinq had a feature of warp to 0m on the gates. How did that turn out? I take it wasn't as sucess full or we whould see it ingame allready. Just wondering the state of that.

The cluster replacement cost roughly $1,000,000.00 USD I think.

The new clusters does look very good
But the thing that creates alot of the frustration atm, is that even though you say that the old cluster are not up to the challenge, u still run HUGE ad campains, this generates alot of new players, but makes this game even worse for your old paying customers. I suggest that you hold of your ads until you can deliver a superior products.
The product you are delivering us have become poor because of lag, a screwed up economical system(plz release more T2 bpos) and poor clustersupport in 0,0. (your concept, graphics ++ still rule)

How much cost that thing??
I think the answer to the question "How much did it cost? " is "Yes"
Glad to hear the kit is another step closer to being active yes we know its gonna be a bit bumpy at times so dont worry we will forgive any mishaps as long as the end result lives up to the hype

cute but upon reading "The new 64 bit blades have now been delivered, assembled, firmware upgraded, tuned, tweaked and verified. At 11:00 yesterday morning (6 Feb), the shipment was picked up and is now en route to London and scheduled to be released from customs at the end of this week." I cant but help feel that you have put alot of faith in IBM given:
1) How do you update firmware when you aint had it delivered
2) How do you verify something when you dont actualy have it yet
3) verification is something you do to confirm and not assume.
I sooo strongly suggest you (and sure you will) have the following on your check list when delivered:
1) Update/check updates on all firmware/drivers including any scsi cards and network cards etc, factoring in that whilst you may have XX blade servers some might actualy be different at hardware level dispite being same model numbers. Ie revised NIC card or the like (it happens).
2) Let the kit sit in comp room for 24 hours then install and dont forget to be wary of lose/shaken lose hardware, quick visual inspection of kit with top of will do this to curcumvent transit issues and also allow kit to climatise to the operation room. Hardware is like carpets, works more reliably once setteled in.
3) Account at local 24/7 urger bar and coffee shop.
4) Few laptops with all the patch's on and a cross over cable to allow quick updates and checks.
5) Double check the BTU's and power rec's and dont forget to load balance new kit across the three phases to reduce power costs and also induce more stability. Nothing worse than nice new kit telling you that your deployment room isn't going to work as even on paper it fitted fine and the old kit fitted fine but combined they generate too much heat or trip the power .
6) More coffee.
7) Somebody with a good nose, when you plug new kit in you can tell if its going to die. As failing kit can and often does give of a smell of dieing resistars. Daft I know but actualy been able to predict many kit failures well in advance of it failing. Generaly fans dieing and then having knock on effect. You will have somebody there who knows what the score is. But with blades a few spare replacement fans always handy and sure IBM will send few gratis.
8) Have contact numbers and know exactly how long it would take to swap out a peace of kit aheead of install failure. (see rule 9)
9) Above all plan for the worst and Murphy's law will dicate it in the opposite direction; Thereby it will go great :o).
10) Coffee.

I'm assuming what they meant was that the Dev team have had a look at and a check up of the new stuff, and it's now on its way to London to be intalled where the server will actually end up operating. It's unclear though, I'm not saying your're wrong, just that was how it sounded to me.

Heh, I think they know what to do with these so called "serverisers".

I can't but help feel that you have put alot of faith in assumption given:
1) The Devs are in Iceland.
2) The Datacenter is in London.
3) ALL the equipment was sent to Iceland first.
In Iceland at CCP's offices the devs assembled it all, set up and configured the hardware and whatnot and made sure it all works. Then they packed it up and shipped it to the datacenter in London where it'll all be reassembled and retested and finished up.
