As Far as the Hardware Goes What 8-32 Way System Can Somone potentially use at
home?  I can't exactly go out and get a Cray  , would be cool but but those
require some kind of team of operators. I've heard of Quad's for personal use
but how about an 8 or 16 way system do you need a Team for those? I would want
something i can just power up and go so i figured a p90 Power4 server is
probably out of the question even if money wasn't a problem.
