you jest, but ron built a similar thing with the gumstix and
the stagecoach module.  iirc, the purpose was to have a machine
small and cheep enough to experiment on, not to be a efficient
way to bring cycles to bear.

obviously the interconnect is going to be the issue.  which gives
me a very interesting idea on interconnects.  ....
