This kind of things is more fun than should be legal.

Years ago, I got ahold of a bunch of obsolete 386s that a local bank was
pitching.  I had this great dream that I would build a Beowulf cluster,
but alas, it was not to be ... most of the machines were unreliable, and
I never did have the time to organize the whole thing.

What a joy it would be to have a job where you could put together 150
node clusters with your OS of choice ...
