I remember the old PlayStation that let you install Linux. Universities were building cluster computers out of them. PlayStation 3?

Yep, it was the PlayStation 3, it used an IBM processor intended for supercomputers, if I recall correctly even the navy built a cluster with them

I ended up looking it up. I think it was the Air Force, and it was the "Condor Cluster". I believe it was the 33rd most powerful supercomputer at the time of it's activation.

Sony removed the Other OS feature around the same time, so PS3 clusters needed to source older PS3s with older firmware.
