How to Turn Your PlayStation 3 Into a Linux PC (and Win Our Mod)
,----[ Quote ]
| The Cell processor inside Sony's PlayStation 3 is a powerhouse that lets the
| gaming console render highly detailed graphics at blistering speed. That same
| chip gives the PS3 all the processing muscle it needs to become a fully
| functional computer. When we first heard this was possible, we were sure the
| procedure had to be illegal, or that it would at least void the warranty. But
| as it turns out, this is that rarest of finds in consumer electronics: a
| perfectly legal, manufacturer-supported hack that adds significant
| functionality. With a little bit of effort and expense, we turned a PS3 into
| a Linux computer—without losing any of the machine's native gaming goodness.
| And we'd like one of our readers to win it.

| The free version of the software will allow you to stream at 640x480, which
| is pretty crap, but if you’re willing to pay up, you can go all the way to
| 3200x2400 - although the system requirements for that are should be pretty
| high, like an octoSLI or sumthin'.
