With some hardware and bios mods to a MSN TV box it is good to go for running Linux and possibly creating an awesome cluster. These things are somewhat reasonablly priced and will get you a 733mhz 256kb cache with 128mb ram. They could definately be useful for playing around with distributed computing software/coding. I wonder what Microsoft would think if they started selling a bunch of these things to people using them to make Linux clusters? Probably just $.
