There is a local theoretical physicist I know of that is wanting to build a cluster and probably base it on Linux. I know he's mentioned renting time on the machine to local Univ.s and others to help pay for it. He had some really good local sites reseached to locate it, and his own project to run on it would be quite revolutionary. I'm just hoping that when the build comes on I can get my hand dirty with setting up some highend hardware.

Im also intrested in seeing what the via c7 and dual core systems are like for clustering. C7 is suposed to be much faster and intended for laptops. If the correct board layout was made they could be extreemly eficent for clustering.. L.J had a article about a 16 node cluster in a tool box. they have made several. one used p3 mini-itx but needed a huge power supply. the pc104 units are near 100 the via's are 140 ish+ so it culd be done for relitivly inexpensivly right now.
