Re: [enhydra] Otter in a box !

Especially interesting in the wake of speculation that xboxes will fall 
to $99 by labor day 
(http://money.cnn.com/2004/01/28/commentary/game_over/column_gaming/index.htm?cnn=yes).

For about $2000 (about the price of my new dual 2GHz Athlon server) I 
will be able to fill my closet with a cluster of 20 of them. Cool. I'll 
probably try it. But, is this practical? I don't know anything about how 
much power they use or heat they produce.

What type of scenario do you see this being practical for?
