Yeah, nice. My company built a beowulf cluster using K6-2 350's which worked well, with 48 meg per box, with a PII-500 master for SMP apps and stuff, about a year-and-a-half ago, and it still works fine. We built on 19" rackmount, maybe you should consider this if you've got limited space.

I don't quite get what you're saying about selling hard drive space over 56k connections though - maybe it's just my English comprehension
