Looks really interesting, Zenith! Funny that a similar type of conversation came up at work. Some team is using a kick-ass FPGA board about the size of a normal PC gfx card, that can recongifure to create something like 140 PowerPCs on the board. It costs a bomb, but the guy reckons you can get a chip that could be configured to say a single P4 for about 200 pounds.
