Cost of PS2 Linux Kits-$14,000, PS2s Cost-$12,600, MemCard Cost-$1750, Grand Total-Roughly $28,350, Plus Tax and Network Equipment, plus whatever else they needed 2 do this. after Taxes an Exchange it'd be Rounf $45,000 Where I live, an Prolly round $35,000 US

Impressive but that is a very costly way to get a Gigaflop.
You need to go to Sam's Club or IBM rather and buy in bulk.
Blue Gene/L only cost 28 cents per gigaflop

No, but I subscribe to PSM (Playstation 2 Magazine) which is much better than OPM in my opinion.

The "teamed" the PS/2 like a stagecoach.
Instead of 2 by 1 or 2 by 2 or even 2 by 4 they did 8 by 8, 16 by 16, 32 by 32.
32 by 32 was the limit for the path and the cross harnessing.
