There's probably more CPU cycles available in all the botnets of the world than
there are total in the top500 list.

If you want to do it a bit more legally, the EFF did a one-off box with lots of
FPGA that could do it in a few days, it cost them like $250K in late-90s
dollars, and they estimated building a second one would cost about half as
much.  Now apply Moore's Law and estimate what 2007 FPGA's could do. ;)
