I only heard it mentioned as an example, was there a phantom talk?
However it does exist, I had a search out of curiosity after I heard 
of the Beowulf project (www.beowulf.org), but be warned its not a 
walk in the park =) The cheaper 486 kinda projects are at 
www.beowulf-underground.org although I hope you have loads of time on 
your hands. Maybe we could get together one weekend as a group and 
try something like this ;-)  Take a look at www.lobos.nih.gov/ they 
have a neat pic of 'one bank of machines'
Good luck
