how about a cluster of NES, amigas, and commodores.

Not sure about capabilities of existing machines, although I think the 
playstation has a serial port and thats all; however, wait for the 
playstation 2 ... FireWire, USB and PC Card slot, apparently... that should 
make a good front-end for things :)

Last spec I saw was:
128 Bit "Emotion Engine" 
System Clock Frequency 300 MHz 
Cache Memory Instruction: 16KB, Data: 8KB + 16KB (ScrP) 
Main Memory Direct Rambus (Direct RDRAM) 
Memory Size 32MB 
Memory Bus Bandwidth 3.2GB per Second 


Should certainly make it easier to persuade people to use things!
