Very good.
Would they benefit from it? No, they're machines.

Would you benefit from it? For the pure geekiness of building a

Yes, I am sure of that. The time however...
However, a cluster probably won't do you much good other than the
challenge of building it and heating you house, unless you have some
serious math to crunch.
That is what I was afraid of.
I've got about a dozen old machines here I've been wanting to do that
with myself but never have the time.
Totally agreed. Good point, thanks Ivan.
