VonGuard writes "The ACCRC is the relatively famous computer recycling non-profit in Berkeley that builds clusters out of old hardware. Make Blog has an article about the Center's plans to build a cluster out of the equipment people bring to recycle at Make Faire later this month. The ACCRC geeks are now able to integrate PII's or better into the cluster, which will be powered by Vegetable Oil and run Parallel Knoppix."

So, they have a network of recycled computers...
...being run by a generator using veggie oil...
...to render 3D images.

So the only question remaining is: What are they rendering?

My guess: PETA [peta.org]'s new 3D logo.

Dr. Emmett Brown: Marty, I'm sorry. But the only power source capable of generating 1.21 gigawatts of electricity is a bolt of lightning.

Marty McFly: [startled] What did you say?

Dr. Emmett Brown: A bolt of lighting. Unfortunately, you never know when or where it's ever gonna strike.

Marty McFly: Hmmmm... What about vegetable oil?

Dr. Emmett Brown: Well of course, vegetable oil. But where are we going to get vegetable oil in 1955?
