One positive thing about a PS3 cluster, if you could get it to work. You could use a regular PC with plenty of Ram to be the Master. I guess you would still have Ram limitations on the PS3 side, but I suppose if there was something the PS3 could do that had an app already, you could have the server divvy out the work. You would still need to have a program written or re-written to use the SPUs, but I could see doing things like ripping cd's or encoding a music library. It's something I would only do if I had a specific job in mind and was willing to take the time to acquire or create the PS3 app. Maybe it's easier than I remember it?

Sounds like something very interesting, if you have the time to put into it. If you decide to proceed, keep us up to date. Sounds like it could also be a real headache!
