Scott et al - heard of the Elastic Compute Cloud from Amazon? It's  
Linux Virtual Machines that you 'rent' for $.10/hour of use. A single  
instance might not have the horsepower that ziwt needs, but it might  
a cool thing to investigate nonetheless.

My company is looking at it to take over our aging hardware  
infrastructure. As such, my boss is working on some interesting stuff  
using EC2 and other Amazon web services: http://www.muckos.org/
