I wonder how much rental by hour would be on this thing?

Actually, if you search Wired.com or News.com you'll fine an article that you can rent out processing power from Sun Microsystems for $1/hr per processor.

I don't know how fast it is, but 1 day's worth of processing for 50 chips is only $1200. Maybe it would be worth it if we needed to take over #1 in a short amount of time before a project ends.

OOOOO!!!
