That PCs that are on display at the numerous Gateway Countries will be made into a distributed super computer for a price. Sounds interesting. Would you pay for it? (Or your company?)

Gateway's network of 8,000 PCs can deliver 14 teraflops (trillions of calculations per second) of power, very little of which is being used for in-store demos. That makes Gateway's available computing resources equivalent, at least in raw computing power, to some of the largest supercomputers.
