Subject: question about the hardware of Deep Junior.

I read that the price of the hardware of Deep Junior is 150,000$

Ny question is if it is possible by similiar price to get better speed.

Is it possible to combine many cheaper computers to work in parallel (even by
less efficient way) and get better speed?.

I know that it is possible to combine 2 computers to work in parallel by
winboard or by autoplayer.

I guess that it is possible to use many computers to analyze all the positions
one ply after the root position and part of the positions 2 plies after the root
position and to use the scores of all the computers to decide about the right
move(I guess that the regular method of alpha beta will not help here because
the connection time between the computers is too high).
