Definitely not worth it IMHO, it would be a waste of power, it wouldn't be worth the time either.

Beowulf cluster for converting media files, yes.  Beofwulf for btc mining, no way in hell.

The problem isn't even the capital costs, it the operation cost of running all those servers. Not worth it IMO.

BEOWULF Device?
i mean crude beowulf assembly for mining.

CPU mining for all of those combined might result in maybe a few tens of Mhash/s at best.  

A $1,000 ASIC shipping "real soon now" can mine at 2,000 times that.
A $100 GPU even can mine at ten times that.
