I am in the alpha stage right now , but i think i am ready to try it out with more people. Right now, i would say its for regular people, not professionals, who are interested in playing around a bit.

The total cost is $2550.11. The design and implementation is robust and elegant. On my blog, I show how to build it in pictures, breakdown the component costs, talk about air flow, and discuss idle and full speed temperatures. We think our solution is practical and feasible for other people needing a small cluster for specialty applications. http://obscuredclarity.blogspot.com/2008/09/24-core-linux-cluster-in-2999-case-from.html A friend and I built another version of a 24-core Linux cluster built into a $29.99 Ikea Helmer cabinet.

How would one compare a few thousands to 80k? Thanks Spamagnet for the pricing (I couldn't find it). How would one compare a few thousands to 80k?

The other possibility is to use a Linux installation which supports OpenMosix, but I don't know how much benefit you might see from it. @Neki - Mostly rendering: he mentions using DrQueue for distributing this over multiple machines.
