The Furby Cluster - Furbeowulf

HomunQlus · 2005-11-18 13:32:13

You know these little cute things that could learn things, can get moody or happy? Yeah? Right! It's a Furby! :) Some people, who really haven't got things to do at work, took some Furbys and built a cluster with it. I'm not kidding, it's for real... Have a look here: http://www.trygve.com/furbeowulf.html :D

Surprisingly, the Furby CPU can be overclocked significantly, with a corresponding boost in computing power. The biggest problem, however, is that of cooling, because for some reason the units are covered with an insulating fuzzy layer
