Blizzard Raises $330,000 To Support St. Jude Children's Research Hospitals

By auctioning off old server blades that used to house the World of Warcraft, Blizzard was able to raise $330,000 for charity.

It's odd to think that, yes, technically that piece of hardware used to house the virtual world of Warcraft. It's kind of like the city of Kandor, the Kryptonian city miniaturized and kept as a collectible on Brainiac's shelf. It's like the folks who won the auctions are Superman, stealing Kandor away from Brainiac to keep on his own shelf in the Fortress of Solitude. It's more or less exactly the same thing.

Thanks to Laust for the news tip!
