Here Ya Go - Make a Super Computer out of Multiple PS3's

I just found this piece and thought it a rather interesting use of Playstation 3 game consoles.  The USAF has literally joined a 1000 or more of them together to create a supercomputer for imaging purposes and problem solving.

See the linked article and let us know your thoughts.

The system I'm familiar with used the graphics elements of the PS2s only, as well as a whole stack of commercial NVidia graphics cards for separate applications.
