Registrera and logga in?!? What the hell can this possibly mean?!
I'm a Brit and I'm quite interested in joining this away from Deepbit. I'll have to translate of course, but other than that there shouldn't be any issues should there?

No, they won't be good enough. Do you really think that PS3 which is like 4/5 years old could match up to even a 5770? It just won't he worth it unless you already have a bunch of PS3s lying around that are unused.
I suppose I was mostly thinking about using hardware I already own as opposed to going out and buying new gear. But it looks like what's needed isn't too heavy (CPU @ 2Ghz + 1 GB RAM) with all the concentration being on the GPU. So I should be able to put together a decent rig for well under $1K USD or right at it. I was just feeling out the PS3 angle since I'd seen it discussed before here.

I was reading this thread a while ago where a few people have posted what they thinks possible with a PS3:

So I'm building a couple of mining rigs (probably 3 and, yes, I'm looking for investors) but I've got a question that came out of a discussion I had earlier today with a fellow Bitcoiner:
The Playstation 3 is a nice machine and has a decent GPU. I've heard rumors that there's mining software for it but I've not seen any yet. What do you think of using a few PS3's as rigs?
