Hi all,

We have just decommissioned a lab of computers and once I weed out 
the dead/dying ones I should have between 15-20 machines with the 
following specs:

IBM Netvista/pc300
pIII 600
>6Gb disk
512Mb ram
100Mb ethernet

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on a project that would be 
worth doing with them at some point. Perhaps as a PLUG project to 
get people involved? Was thinking of playing around with clustering 
or making a rendering farm or something?

Cheers

Patrick Tehvand
