The fun part is working out how to distribute software over lots
of nodes. So my 2p of advice is buy lots of the cheaper boards.

Funnily enough I was thinking the same.

I was thinking, buy 3 or 4 of the UKP80 boards. Pull the 2.5"
spare hard drive out from under the pile of crap in my spare
room and plug that into one of the boards. The other boards can
be diskless. Get an ethernet switch. Problem though: power: how
can I drive all the boards off the minimum number of power
supplies? (And indeed what power supplies do these things need?)
