what kind of results do you think you could get with a setup like that?

That would give some pretty good numbers I'm sure!

But I can only wonder how much it would raise a room temperature to have a setup like that running 24/7.

I live in MI, about 15 miles from the college that built that (oddly enough). Also, winter is coming up so keeping that cool wont be a problem for the next 6 months. and if you leave it in a large room in a basement, i don't imagine it would get too bad.

another thing you could do is over clock it a ton, then set it in your garage (mine is insulated just enough to keep it above freezing in the winter) then decimate all in whatever race is taking place. Also, then i wouldn't need to use my space heater if i want to do some woodworking out there or something.

UPDATE:

I was able to price it to 1200$ shipped with a brisbane 65W 2.1 ghz cpu and only 1x2gig ram per mobo since anything more for BOINC stuff would be pointless.

Why would you want wine?
Many projects are linux compatible

I'd love one of those to run some fire simulations
