looks good but I think its a bit pointless as I'm not convinced that he couldnt have built his own cluster of computers for cheaper by doing it in house... hmmm, eitherway its pretty fun but I think I'll stick with the 40 3ghz cluster we have... but I dont need to use it often my 3ghz machine does most that I need.

Didn't it say sony donated them to him? If so, it was worth the effort regardless.
