I just read an article about the government using PS3s to break encryption codes on pedophiles' computers. The PS3 is capable of process 4 million passwords a second. It's cost and power makes it a great workhorse for number crunching. They are using the older versions because the Slim models are not capable of putting Linux on them. I was sadden by this information because putting Linux on PS3 was one reason I wanted to get two PS3s - one to play with for games/movies and the other for Linux. Looks like one of them will have to be the older one.
