Linux Cluster: Off The Shelf Supercomputers

There's a good story running at over news.com about a astrophysicist building his own supercomputer equivalent by using 140 Alpha boxes, and Linux. This has been mentioned-Avalon is the codename-but the price is so cheap (313,000$US) for this new verison of it that it warrants mentioning. The old cluster, 70 machines, was 315 on the supercomputer list. This might be in the top 100.
