Having some old G5 towers around and a handful of G4 laptops we're making an attempt at setting the systems up into an XGrid cluster, then configure the system for common security related tasks including rainbow table creation, key cracking, etc. This would act as a proof of concept open lab environment with removable componants (laptops).
